This paper discusses about some features in the positions of stage building and cavea of twenty-three Greek and Hellenistic theaters constructed in Greece through a geometrical analysis. As a result, the following four points are drawn out; (1) the positions of stage building and cavea are related each other by a circle or a regular polygon inscribed in an another circle, (2) of the circle described above are there two patterns, one equals to a orchestra and the other corresponds to a circle of which diameter is taken between the lowest steps of cavea, (3) after an introduction of a permanent proscenium, it happened in most theaters that one side of a regular polygon coincides with a position of front of the proscenium, (4) around Athens there are a few theaters with particularities, in which a position of front of a proscenium coincides with one side of a regular polygon inscribed in a circle while keeping a circular orchestra space.
