Ever wonder why the red carpet has long been synonymous with Hollywood? Why anytime somebody important rolls into town the first thing you hear is how the red carpet is being rolled out for them? The red carpet actually has its roots in the ancient Greek play Agamemnon. Written sometime during the 5th century the play speaks of King Agamemnon being convinced that he was so favored by the gods that they not only aided him in his battle against Troy, but were responsible for his safe return home. Clytaemnestra, his wife, so believed this to be true that she laid out a red carpet for the king to walk on so that his feet would not have to touch the ground like the common people of the land. The tradition pops up again in America where railroad conductors would roll out the red carpet as a way of making their passengers feel special as well as giving them a path to the passenger car. Of course today there’s not much that happens in the entertainment world that doesn’t feature a red carpet being paraded upon by celebrity after celebrity.
