History Of The Greek Theatre

History Of The Greek Theatre

Theater and drama in Ancient Greece took form in about 5th 
century BCE, with the Sopocles, the great writer of tragedy.  In his 
plays and those of the same genre, heroes and the ideals of life were
depicted and glorified.  It was believed that man should live for 
honor and fame, his action was courageous and glorious and his life 
would climax in a great and noble death.

Originally, the hero’s recognition was created by selfish 
behaviors and little thought of service to others.  As the Greeks grew 
toward city-states and colonization, it became the destiny and 
ambition of the hero to gain honor by serving his city.  The second 
major characteristic of the early Greek world was the supernatural.  
The two worlds were not separate, as the gods lived in the same world 
as the men, and they interfered in the men’s lives as they chose to.  
It was the gods who sent suffering and evil to men. In the plays of 
Sophocles, the gods brought about the hero’s downfall because of a 
tragic flaw in the character of the hero.
