What were some technological innovations of the ancient Greek theatre and how were they used?
What will be an ideal response?
The ancient Greeks did not make extensive use of technology in theatre, but they did use two devices the me?chane? and the ekkyklema. The me?chane? was a crane used to lift actors, usually portraying a god, above the skene. The ekkyklema, was a platform on wheels with a scene displayed on it that could be rolled out of the central doors to display a tableau—a visual scene depicting the aftermath of an offstage event.
