Introduction to Greek Theatre

Greek theatre began in the 6th century BC as part of religious festivals honoring Dionysus, the god of wine and theatre. It developed from rituals into a structured form of entertainment and artistic expression. Playwrights like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides created tragedies that explored complex themes of human nature. Comedy also emerged as a popular genre, with playwrights like Aristophanes. The theatre evolved over centuries, influencing Western drama for generations.
