The plays of one ancient city 2500 years ago by just four playwrights have had a profound effect on the development of Western drama, including opera, film, television, comedy, and dance. This course examines the social, historical, and political context of ancient Greek drama and provides a set of analytical tools for developing an appreciation of this important genre.
