The earliest origins of drama are to be found in Athens where ancient hymns, called Dithyrambs, were sung in honor of the god Dionysus. These hymns were later adapted for choral processions in which participants would dress up in costumes and masks. Eventually, certain members of the chorus evolved to take special roles within the procession, but they were not yet actors in the way we would understand it.

That development came later in the 6th century BC, when the tyrant Pisistratus, who then ruled the city, established a series of new public festivals. One of these, the 'City Dionysia', a festival of entertainment held in honor of the god Dionysus, featured competitions in music, singing, dance and poetry. And most remarkable of all the winners was said to be a wandering bard called Thespis.

According to tradition, in 534 or 535 BC, Thespis astounded audiences by leaping on to the back of a wooden cart and reciting poetry as if he was the characters whose lines he was reading. In doing so he became the world's first actor, and it is from him that we get the world thespian.

Is this a true-false question? if so, it would seem best to mark it true. or perhaps is this a prompt that's meant to get you started on an essay? if so, start brainstorming thoughts about land ownership and feudalism and then start arranging an outline for your essay.the medieval economy ran on agriculture, so land ownership was the key to anyone's livelihood. large landowners (nobility) controlled the land and the wealth that came from it. common folk labored on the land as peasant farmers. they would owe a certain amount of their produce to the manor lord in exchange for the right to live and work on the land over which that lord claimed ownership.the feudal system has a role in all this too. in feudalism, those at the top (lords or nobles, with the king at the top of the top) provided law and order and protection to those beneath them. those at the bottom pledged their loyalty and service (taxes, duties, produce from working the land) to their lords and ultimately to the king for the ordered society protection they received from the higher members of society.all this presumes, of course, that people carry out their roles fairly. too often in the feudal structure, those at the top demanded far too much from those at the bottom of the social order, and did not provide truly noble services or leadership to them.
