Athenian dramatic contents featured three types of drama: comedies, tragedies, and raunchy satyr plays. These plays were not just dramatic stories, but complete performances accompanied by music, singing, and dancing. These elements combined to form an exquisite tribute to the god Dionysos.

	Sadly, only a few plays from Classical Athens have survived; those of the famous tragedians [[Aischylos\|Aiskhylos]]. [[Sophokles]], and [[Euripides]], and the work of the comic poet [[~~Artistophanes~~]]. Aiskhylos was born c. 525 BCE. He was part of a wealthy noble family, and was present at many famous battles, including the [[Battle of Marathon]], the [[Battle of Salamis]], and the [[Battle of Plataia]]. As a result, the [[Greco-Persian Wars]] heavily influenced his work as a playwright, and his first tragedy, "The Persians" was a celebration of the Battle of Salamis.
