There is no specific limit. Actors wore masks, so one actor could easily play several roles just by donning several masks. The maximum number of roles in a given play was limited by the fact that he couldn't be on the stage playing two characters at the same time. So, the maximum was: 'the number of characters that did not have to appear simultaneously on the stage'.

How are men and women related to the early Greek dramas?

In early Greek dramas, men and women played distinct but significant roles. Most performances were predominantly male, with men acting in all roles, including female characters, due to societal norms that restricted women from participating in theater. However, the themes of these dramas often explored gender dynamics, relationships, and societal expectations, reflecting the roles and perceptions of both men and women in ancient Greek society.
