Actresses preparing for a theatrical play at the dressing room.

The first recorded case of an actor performing took place in 534 BC when the Greek performer Thespis stepped on to the stage at the Dionysia Festival and became the first known person to speak words as a character in a play or story. Prior to Thespis' act, stories were only known to be told in song and dance and in third person narrative. In honor of Thespis, actors are commonly called Thespians.

Yliki Lake

Λίμνη Υλίκη – Βοιωτία

Yliki Lake, Boeotia (Viotia) – Greece

Yliki is a natural lake in Viotia, north of the city of Thebes. It’s also named Likeri and has a surface area of 25 square kilometres. In antiquity Yliki was named after the town of Yli, which was built in her banks, as the city Akraifia. Close to ancient Yli there was a temple of Apollo named “Ptoos” from the neighboring mountain.
Yliki Lake used to supply with water the city of Athens. It was almost totally drained, with disastrous side-effects for farmers in the neighboring Kopaida plain. Yliki got back to almost normal water level after Athens found an alternative way to provide water to its more than 4 million inhabitants.
