theat re:
Theories about the development of the theater in the West generally begin with Greek drama; this is etymologically appropriate as well as historically correct, since the words theory and theater are related through their Greek sources. The Greek ancestor of theory is theri, which meant the sending of theroi (state ambassadors sent to consult oracles or attend games), the act of being a spectator at the theater or games, viewing, contemplation by the mind. It is thus fitting to elaborate theories about culture while seeing a play in a theater.
