Origin of Greek Drama

{tocify} $title={Table of Contents}

Greek Drama was an attribution or worship of the God Dionysus (The god of fertility, wine and theatre) in the festival, known as Dionysia, in which different theatrical performances were made. These dramas were just episodic stories which were devoid of beginning, middle or the end of the story. The episodic stories were merely the battles of their mythical gods. These dramas were based on myths. A myth is like a hypothesis which is or cannot be proven by science, logic or reason.
