 104 The Origins of Greek Theatre II, Classical Drama and Theatre
Tragedy's rise was not inevitable—Else is surely right in that regard!—rather, it is a unique phenomenon, unlikely to have happened outside of Athens in the 500s BCE or without the agency of visionary men with tremendous sensitivity to the tastes and sensibilities of their day.

 Hellenistic Mystery Religion
  Roughly, we can consider the period of ancient mystery-knowledge to be 500 BCE to 500 CE, with the early part being 500 BCE to 1 BCE, and the late part being 1 CE to 500 CE.
It’s interesting to consider how the Christianity, Judaism, and the Greek symposium of the time (~200 BCE – 350 CE) were also forms of that single religion, variations on the same essential theme.
Similarly, scholars should suspect that Gnosticism was also a form of that same theme, to a greater degree than has been acknowledged.
