The opening of this publication discusses the historical context and origins of drama, starting with its rudimentary forms in ancient civilizations and leading into a detailed exploration of the Greek theatrical tradition. It elaborates on important figures such as Thespis, credited with introducing regular tragedy, and Æschylus, known as the "Father of Tragedy," highlighting their contributions to the art form.
