A Comparison Of The Henegar Center And The Odyssey

Another building that was constructed for the fair was the Agricultural Building. “In keeping with the custom of its famous designers, the building was in classical style with the noteworthy feature of a sixty-four foot wide entrance flanked by mammoth Corinthian columns fifty feet high and five in diameter.” (Burg 128) In the middle of the building there was a large dome; the Romans were the first to create and use domes. Both Greek and Roman ideas were incorporated into this building.

As soon as the audience enters the auditorium, they are greeted with a modern impression of an amphitheater. The uncommon shape of traverse stage is allows audience to experience a play that is 270 degrees, similar to a catwalk. Stage is completely carpeted, which interesting in terms of acoustics. As stage does not have

coliseum, and the circus maximus) which could be compare with the sports arenas of today. In appearance our stadiums of today are not exactly the same, but one can see the similarities in them. Take the coliseum, this stadium is huge, and was built for one purpose; and that was to hold as many Romans as possible. Today 's stadiums are the same way. They are huge, marvelously constructed buildings that are meant to hold thousands of people. Also, the coliseum and circus maximus were built for the people to watch games or "sporting events", just like today. Whether it is a football game at the Silverdome, or a group gladiators fighting to the death in the coliseum, it is all meant to house entertainment.

Despite their many variances, the success of the battles was similar and beneficial. The Greeks were able to end their ten-year long war. Hastein was able to successful raid Luna. The Allies were able to turn the war into their favor. These outcomes changed history on some level, but who earns the credit for their successes? The leaders involved may have brought the victory home, but they had to attack in such a way that their troops had time to win. All three leaders, were cunning and creative. Odysseus, the Greek behind the original Trojan horse, later used his ideas to get home in Homer’s The Odyssey. Hastein the Viking, is known to be a very deceitful man in the pages of history of which he appears (Holman). Eisenhower combined

The center of the arch was placed behind the rotunda, so that the two were not aligned in concentric rings. This allowed a wider arch to be built in the same space, giving it a grander appearance.

I reply to Rufus remark. Calm down you say, by Odin's beard free me now! I pause for a moment to think. I don't know why I am all tide up like this but all I know strange thing have been happening ever since I got my wound form that polar bear. Well that and when I left the camp for a walk and found an old woman picking mushrooms in the woods she told me to eat them and I would see the gods. Then after that every time I eat the mushroom I would see the gods but the men that were with me looked like they been in a fight and when I ask them what happen they would avoid the question.

The “Ensemble Theater” which held this great theater play, is a very small Regional Theater with a Proscenium Stage or picture frame (also called Fourth Walls). The Proscenium stage

What is the purpose of reading The Odyssey today, long after it was composed? The purpose of reading The Odyssey is to teach us important lesson about our life now. It may seem like the old story has no relevance to us. However, upon closer inspection, it has many connections to us today. The environment and views of life have changed, but we can still learn many lessons from looking for connections to our life in The Odyssey.

The Proscenium is the most audience friendly theater space due to its artistic and very graphic architecture seen on the arches and/or frames. Also, the Proscenium’s atmosphere and aesthetic distance can also be captured by the audience’s senses. The seats are face stage in any number of methods placement – some can be upper deck seats and others can be floor seats – and captures that “see through capability” with the Proscenium’s “Fourth Wall”. Whether the event presented is a play, magic show, or even auctions, the scenery surrounding the stage cannot help but be observed by the audience (of course audience members can choose whether or not to admire the setting of the inhibited theatrical environment).

In old Greek theaters the seating was masterminded in a semi-circle what's more, bend down into the inside after the characteristic state of the slope. There are numerous current theaters which are organized in this way however numerous have the entire gathering of people straightforwardly inverse the stage like in a silver screen. Today enhancements in current theaters are underestimated by the gatherings of people. Blazing lights, smoke, electronic sound and even amplifiers for on-screen characters were all not accessible to the antiquated Greeks. However current theaters have acquired a few things from that point old Greek

     The arches of the Coloseum allowed great ventilation, stability, and passageways to keep the crowd comfortable all day. The most amazing construction had nothing to do with the show. The Romans had actually constructed a roof for the Coloseum. The roof was like a retractable sail covering most of the audience during the current event.

Architecture of the ancient Roman Empire is one of the most fascinating of all time. Around the time of A.D. 70-72, Emperor Vespasian of the Flavian Dynasty instructed the architecture of the massive, ancient amphitheater, the Colosseum. Titus, the son of Vespasian, made the Colosseum known as the “Flavian Amphitheater” in year A.D. 80. This lavished construction hosted battles, gladiatorial games, wild animal fights and more. After four centuries of active use, it was used as a source of building materials until the 18th century. Later, two-thirds of the original Colosseum has been destroyed over time, the amphitheater remains a remarkable landmark. The Colosseum is an iconic symbol of Rome and its long, tumultuous history.

Many aspects of ancient Greek theaters have long been studied and debated. Much of the information about these theaters is based on speculation due to the fact that so little of them still exist today. This lack of remnants especially applies to the architecture of the early Greek Theaters. However, through archeological finds and years of studying the people, the plays, and the architecture of the time, we are able to make many conclusions about these early structures.

     "The arts of the western world have been largely dominated by the artistic standards established by the Greeks of the classical period" (Spreloosel 86). It is from the Greek word theatron, meaning a place for sitting, that we get our word theater. According to James Butler, "The Greeks were the first people to erect special structures to bring audiences and theatrical performers together" (27). "The theaters were normally located near a populated area at the bottom of or cut out of a carefully selected, sloping hillside overlooking a seascape, a plain, or a city" (Butler 30). "They eventually with few exceptions consisted of three distinct parts: theatron

Amphitheater. Rome’s construction of the amphitheater, began in the Second century AD (Figure 3; Matova and Aliaj, 2006:280; Ponce de Leon, 2013:3; UNESCO, 2004:34. The arena and Roman baths built during this period were centrally located within the city (Bowes and Mitchell, 2009:571; Bowes et al., 2003:382; Karaiskaj, 2004:13; UNESCO, 2004:34). Local topography played a part in deciding where the stadium would be built. Roman engineers made use of a hillside on the northern part of the arena, whereas the southern half of the auditorium was on lower ground. Roman vaults and piers held up this section of the amphitheater (Bowes and Mitchell, 2009:571; Bowes et al., 2003:382; Matova and Aliaj, 2006:280). The southern, or lower side of
