Classical Greek theatre: New views of an old subject

Clifford Ashby, goes into depth about the Greek Theatre and how we can only take what we know or think we know and really make it something of our own. in Chapter 2 "the limits of eviendce; Physical remains" he talks about how even though we have dug up ancient theatres those theatres were altered by late greeks and early roman rulers. so we could never truly know what was what, and what belonged to who. but Ashby, I feel, encourages us to really grasp what we have seen and take the essence with us and really dig deep and get our fingernails dirty, trying to recreate whatever it is that our minds set us to do with these things.
