Coriolanus, Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra are taken from Roman history. Titus Andronicus is fictional but set in Imperial Rome. Troilus and Cressida is set during the Trojan War, and is in fact derived from incidents in the Iliad. Timon of Athens, Pericles, The Two Noble Kinsmen, and The Comedy of Errors are set in an Ancient Greece which strongly resembles medieval or renaissance Europe. A Midsummer Night's Dream has a couple of characters from Greek mythology, but they are jammed together with characters from other kinds of legends and with everyday people in a strange mish-mosh.

Only one of Shakespeare's plays conforms to the style of Greek and Roman plays: The Comedy of Errors.
