Ancient Greece is an open source of Western history, lasting about 650 years (800 BC - 146 BC). Located in southern Europe, northeastern of the Mediterranean, it includes the southern part of the present-day Balkan Peninsula, the west coast of the Asia Minor Peninsula, and many small islands in the Aegean Sea. In the century B.C., especially after the Greco-Persian Wars, economic life was highly prosperous, and a splendid Greek culture was produced, which had a profound impact on later generations.

The ancient Greeks had deep attainments in philosophical thought, history, architecture, literature, drama, sculpture and many other aspects. After the demise of ancient Greece, this civilizational heritage was destructively perpetuated by the ancient Romans, thus becoming the spiritual source of the entire Western civilization.

The achievements of ancient Greece in literature and art include:

1. Comedy. Ancient Greek comedy originated from carnival songs and dances and folk burlesque in worship of the god of wine. In 487 B.C., Athens officially decided to add a comedy contest to the spring Dionysian festival.

Ancient Greek comedies were mostly political and social satires, which arose during the flourishing period of democratic politics with relatively free speech. The comedies of this period were highly critical, especially good at satirizing the figures in power.

Comedy at this time was called "old comedy". In the 5th century B.C., Athens produced three major comic poets, namely Cratinus, Eupolis and Aristophanes, and only Aristophanes has survived.

2. Drama. It originated from folk songs, dances and religious ceremonies. Most of its themes come from ancient Greek mythology and heroic legends, as well as the world-famous Homeric epic. Poetic language, legendary stories give ancient Greek drama infinite charm.

Its strong vitality and profound and rich philosophy still inspire people today. In the 5th century B.C., the development of ancient Greek drama reached its peak, giving birth to three great tragic writers, Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, whose classics are still performed on the stages of countries around the world today.
