Ancient Greek Theater Unearthed in Athens

ATHENS - 02/19/2007 - There is exciting news in Athens this week. Scholars and archaeologists have been looking for the remains of the ancient Greek theater of Acharnae for two hundred years. It appears that it may have finally been found according to experts who announced the possible find on Thursday.

Experts believe that further excavation of the ancient Greek site which was found in a northern suburb of Athens will reveal additional artifacts from the Acharnae theater. They expect to find marble statues and other religious items. The famous ancient theater was referred to by Greek writers in antiquity. The ancient Greek theater of Acharnae appears to be mostly intact.
