#GreekFunFactFriday! The iconic white and blue bui

#GreekFunFactFriday! The iconic white and blue buildings of major Greek cities have many historical and scientific purposes: to reflect the flag's colors, leftover paint from fisherman boats, military dictatorship in the 60s believing it would raise patriotism. And more simply – painting the buildings white cooled down the stone in the summer to make these vacation getaway spots more comfortable and temperate.

It also just makes Greece beautiful and iconic!

While Chicago is having its own Theatre Week festival, did you know the Greeks were the first to have theatre festivals?

Playwrights like Sophocles and Euripides would submit their work to these festivals that were in honor of the God Dionysus and have them performed in theaters like this one that sat up to 13,000 patrons!

For comparison, the iconic Chicago Theatre seats 3,600 😳!
