Where does deus ex machina come from?

all of the above, true its fro the ancient roman theater (also because "deus ex machina" is latin not greek) and it symbolises an unexpected, seemingly "divine" intervention in a situation of difficoulty.Where does deus ex machina come from?
The second answer is correct. It's Latin, not Greek.Where does deus ex machina come from?
It means a God Out of the Machine... I think it might have been said about the industrial revolution first.. don't quote me.Where does deus ex machina come from?
It is a concept from ancient Greek theatre. If a actor was playing a 'god', they would be suspended from a crane or similar structure. Literally, 'god from the machine'.
From Roman theater where the part of the gods was played by a person in a basket above the theater stage floor.
