The three great Athenian tragedians are Aeschylus Sophocles and?
The answer to this question has been widely debated, and in the end no clear evidence can be given to show that any of the "great tragedians" were actually Athenian. In a seminal paper published in 1943, Mitchel Kellers argued that, by and large, most of the evidence actually pointed to a Sicilian heritage for both Aeschylus and Sophocles. Considering this, it is not only factually in error but also a deliberate act of hubris to Westernize these writers by placing them in the same framework as other Western writers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Horace. In general, though, the other accepted--though still quite widely disputed--consideration for "great Athenian tragedian" is Euripides. Euripides' work is a testament to both the religious, social, and political issues that had Athens in a quintessential broil of debates. Most notably, "Bacchus" was perhaps the most widely acclaimed during his own time, and some scholars have argued it influenced the work of the Gospel writers, as well as the work of Josephus.

Who were the first dramatist?
Aeschylus is recognised as the father of tragedy. Following has been copied from Wikipedia entry for him.Aeschylus (pronounced /ˈɛskɨləs/ or /ˈiːskɨləs/, Greek: Αἰσχύλος, Aiskhulos, c. 525 BC/524 BC - c. 456 BC/455 BC) was an ancient Greek playwright. He is often recognized as the father of tragedy,[1][2] and is the earliest of the three Greek tragedians whose plays survive, the others being Sophocles and Euripides. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in plays to allow for conflict among them; previously, characters interacted only with the chorus. Only seven of an estimated seventy to ninety plays by Aeschylus have survived into modern times; one of these plays, Prometheus Bound, is widely thought to be the work of a later author.At least one of Aeschylus' works was influenced by the Persian invasion of Greece, which took place during his lifetime. His play The Persians remains a good primary source of information about this period in Greek history. The war was so important to the Greeks and to Aeschylus himself that, upon his death around 456 BC, his epitaph commemorated his participation in the Greek victory at Marathon rather than to his success as a playwright.
