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. Female characters, despite being portrayed by men, were central to many narratives, influencing plot development and character motivations.
