Greek theater originated in festivals in honor of the god Dionysus, god of wine. During the spring, during these festivities, two theatrical genres were represented: comedy and tragedy. The performances took place outdoors, with actors (always men) wearing masks in keeping with their characters. Tragedies portrayed dramatic scenes from the lives of gods and heroes, with authors such as Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. The comedy satirized the political and social life of Athens, led by Aristophanes. These plays contributed to civic and religious reflections in the lives of the Greeks.
