Tragedy as a dramatic form first developed in ancient Greece during the 5th century BCE. It emerged from religious festivals honoring the god Dionysus, where performances of choral songs and stories evolved into structured plays. Prominent playwrights, such as Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, contributed significantly to its development, exploring themes of fate, morality, and human suffering. The genre laid the foundation for many literary traditions in Western culture.
