What were shakespeares classical plays?
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.

What inspired William Shakespeare to write plays about Julius Caesar?
Plays set in ancient Rome were not exactly common before Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar. He himself had set one of his early plays, Titus Andronicus, in ancient Rome, and there may also have been a play about Titus and Vespasian and an early version of Appius and Virginia. For some reason, Shakespeare was attracted to the plots available in Plutarch's Lives and the Caesar and Antony plays derive from this source. His sense of what would sell did not fail, and his Roman plays were successful enough to inspire imitation, notably Jonson's Sejanus His Fall.

Why did William Shakespeare set his plays abroad?
Not all of them are set abroad. He tended to set them in the place where his sources had set them. The plays based on Holinshed's Chronicles of England are, unsurprisingly, set in England--this includes all ten history plays (although parts of some of them are in France). Macbeth, also based on Holinshed, is set in Scotland. Two plays are set in the England of long ago: Cymbeline and King Lear. The Merry Wives of Windsor is set in contemporary England. The Roman Plays Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra and Coriolanus are all taken from Plutarch's lives which set them in Rome. Shakespeare was not going to contradict such well-known facts, and so he retained the setting, while making the characters behave in many ways like Renaissance Englishmen.
