Conventions Of The Classical Greek Drama

"Conventions Of The Classical Greek Drama" explores the established norms and traditions that defined the theatrical productions of ancient Greece. Examining both tragedy and comedy, this work delves into the structural, thematic, and performance-related elements that shaped the dramatic landscape of the era.

From the use of the chorus and the unities of time, place, and action, to the characteristic themes of fate, hubris, and catharsis, this study provides a comprehensive overview of the conventions that governed the creation and reception of plays by playwrights such as Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes. It serves as an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the rich heritage of classical Greek theater and its enduring influence on Western dramatic tradition.
