Greek drama served multiple purposes, primarily as a form of entertainment and a means to explore complex themes such as morality, fate, and the human condition. It was often performed during religious festivals, particularly in honor of Dionysus, and aimed to provoke thought and evoke emotional responses from the audience. Additionally, it provided a platform for social and political commentary, allowing playwrights to address contemporary issues and challenge societal norms. Through tragedy and comedy, Greek drama sought to reflect and shape the values of ancient Greek society.

A drama is a play. That's what the word "drama" means in Greek.
The greek drama was born as part of the god Dionysus' worship. So at the beginning it had a great religious and sacramental character. Later, during classical era, when the greek drama came to its complete development and acme, it aquired a more social and political character. Ancient Greeks did not use the word "watch" when they went to a theater, but they used to say that they were "tought". The same term we use today when we talk about the greek drama.
