Three types of drama were composed in Athens: tragedy, comedy, and satyr plays, the latter of which seemed not to be taken quite as seriously, at least during the Greek Enlightenment (450-400).
It is important to understand that drama began in the Greek world as a form of religious ritual; and although drama in classical Athens became a great day out and ripping good entertainment, especially if there was alot of blood and gore, its religious character was never really lost on the audience.
Hence, the drama works out many of the characteristics all religious ritual works out: explaining the relation of the human to the divine, of the human to the material world, of explaining violence and its origins, and attempting to control the irrational and the material worlds.
