Hello! We are the 6th grade students from the 55th Primary School of Patras. Today we will both present and comment on our visit to the ancient theatre of Aegira.

Akrata is a beautiful town at the foot of Mount Helmos, in the northern Peloponnese, 70 km from Patras and 150 km from Athens. On the east of Akrata, lies the archaeological site of Ancient Aegira, which houses a magnificent carved theatre from the 3rd century BC.

The ancient theatre is one of the most important monuments of the city, mentioned by Pausanias in the 2nd century AD. It has a horseshoe-shaped cavity overlooking the Corinthian Gulf and it is located at an altitude of 350 m. above sea level, north of the acropolis. We visited the Akrata Cultural Heritage Site where the officials informed us about the area. After, we went to the ancient theatre site and we were divided into 3 groups, participated in experiential activities and dramatizations with the aim of succeeding in the "hidden treasure hunt". We presented:
1. a small dramatization of some scenes from Iphigenia in Aulis
2. a dramatization on the theme of "the traveler Pausanias" and
3. another one regarding the theme of "the archaeologists" who discovered the site of the ancient theatre.

More specifically, we brought to life the everyday life of the past and placed ourselves in space and time, a basic prerequisite for our environmental awareness. We also did other activities such as crossword puzzles and riddles which were rated by taking the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place respectively. What we actually learned from the people in charge of the Akrata Cultural Heritage Site is that, since ancient times, traditional societies have perceived the environment in this way and taken care of its preservation, with moderation, harmony and self-sufficiency. We also became familiar with the operation of the specific archaeological site as a public space and as a social good that is necessary and, as such, it must be protected.

The "environmental reading" of the Ancient Theatre of Aegira highlights:
1.	The interaction of the natural environment with the social and economic environment AS WELL AS the ecological management of the natural resources of the Akrata region.
2.	Choosing building materials in harmony with the natural environment, as the materials used for the construction of the buildings came directly from the natural environment itself in which they were integrated, indicates not only the small expenditure of energy for transportation, but also the self-sufficiency of the materials. Such materials were stone, wood, marble etc. Moreover, the investigation of ancient perceptions of the environment illustrates that its protection was closely linked to the sanctity of nature and was manifested in the deification of natural phenomena and the elements of nature.

The positions of administrative buildings, temples and residences were precisely determined. In order to ensure the healthy functioning of ancient cities, the authorities carefully planned their water supply so as to make sure that they were supplied with plenty of water and oriented the cities so that the residences had sun in winter and coolness in summer. In addition, they provided slopes in the streets to remove rainwater and placed temples and public buildings in prominent and fortified positions, so that they had visibility and their defense was ensured. Our ancient ancestors had as their main concern the choice of the location to be not only strong and rich but also hygienic. The sense of measure was not only a matter of aesthetics but also a rule of moral and political behavior. 

In conclusion, we can say that the basic principles of modern ecology have their roots in the thought and mainly in the life of the ancient Greeks the sense of measure, with respect to both nature itself and human pursuits, emerges by reading and studying the archaeological monuments and archaeological sites that teach us, the predecessors, the real sense of what sustainable development truly stands for.
