This study focuses on the question of what function the Greek festival played in society at the time, what implications it had on the members of society, and how it ultimately influenced their lives. In particular, I will try to reconstruct the form and content of the Greek festival, around references in Aristotle’s Politics, Poetics, Athenian Constitution, and Nicomachean Ethics, and trace the implications of the festival to citizens at the time. The mediator in this study is Aristotle’s term ‘leisure’(scholē) of the citizen, who participates in the festival and watches the theater shows and performances. This term is understood in the same context in which Aristotle emphasized music as an educational subject, when he insists on a certain level of education as a precondition for a free citizen. The final argument of this study is, on the ground of Aristotle’s thoughts in his texts, that participation in festivals and the enjoyment of theater is a public activity that involves free citizens and at the same time is the beginning of the personal act of contemplation. Because contemplation is not an idea that is irrelevant or distant from real life, but rather a reflection of the reality surrounding life or a particular situation that seems to be a problem in theatrical works, and a deep and fundamental reflection of life in general.
