Greek drama originated in ancient Greece, primarily attributed to the playwrights of the 5th century BCE, with Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides being the most notable figures. It evolved from religious festivals honoring Dionysus, where performances began as choral hymns and gradually incorporated dialogue and individual actors. Thespis is often credited as the first actor and is associated with the development of drama as a distinct art form. These playwrights laid the groundwork for Western theater, influencing storytelling, character development, and theatrical structure.
