The first theatrical performances took place in ancient Greece. The Greek drama developed from hymn sung to Dionysius, the god of wine and good life. But it did not become true theatre until performances included stories of the other gods and actors to represent them.
The first actor known was called Thespis. He was the leading singer and traveled from his birthplace to Athens in a cart that carried all his belongings and could be turned into a stage performance. In Athens he won a prize at the new drama festival. People believe that he was also the first man who separated himself from other singers to make a dialogue with them. He was the first professional performer who was brave enough to play a god. Before him this role had always belonged to priests or kings.
