5th Century BC
The roots of comedy can be traced back to ancient Greece, particularly in the 5th century BCE. It emerged alongside tragedy in the form of satyr plays and later developed into a distinct genre with playwrights like Aristophanes, who used humor to critique societal norms and politics. Comedy also has early origins in Roman theater and various cultural traditions around the world, but its foundational influence is largely attributed to Greek works.
