This Blackwell Guide provides a broad-ranging introduction to ancient Greek drama, which flourished principally in Athens from the sixth to the third century BC. All three genres of Greek drama are discussed--tragedy, comedy, and satyr play--as well as the five surviving playwrights--Aeshylus, Sophokles, Euripedes, Aristophanes, and Menander, together with brief entries on lost playwrights. The Guide also addresses contextual issues, such as : the origins of the dramatic art forms; the convention of the festivals, the theater, and the performers; the relationship between drama and the worship of Dionysos; the political dimension; and how to read and watch Greek drama. The final section consists of 46 one-page synopses of each of the surviving plays.
