Greek Drama originated in ancient Greece around the 6th century BCE and is a form of theatrical performance that includes both tragedy and comedy. It often explores themes of fate, morality, and the human condition, using dialogue and action to convey complex emotions and ideas. The performances were typically held during religious festivals, particularly in honor of the god Dionysus. Notable playwrights such as Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides contributed significantly to the genre, creating works that are still studied and performed today. The use of masks, chorus, and elaborate staging were key elements of these early theatrical productions.
