The Greek Dramatists. Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides
Description
The short-lived democratic system of Ancient Greece gave way to three major dramatists: Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. This film examines the dramatist culture of Ancient Greece, the role its government played, and the freedom of speech delivered onstage; a brief overview of Greece's early political history is given. The evolution of theater and drama were forever changed by the three tragedians studied. Listen to readings from each of the playwrights' work.
