A broad-ranging and systematically organised introduction to ancient Greek drama.
Discusses all three genres of Greek drama – tragedy, comedy, and satyr play.

Covers contextual issues such as: the origins of dramatic art forms; the conventions of the festivals and the theatre; the relationship between drama and the worship of Dionysos; the political dimension; and how to read and watch Greek drama.
Includes 46 one-page synopses of each of the surviving plays.
