In Ancient Greece (primarily Athens, for that is the city from which the literature of plays has come to us) thecrole of Theatre was initially a religious one associated with annual festivals celebrating the Gods at the festival of Dionysus , which developed into a competitive celebration of the city's wealth and power and then on to include social and political comment. There are three Athenian writers of plays in the Tragic genre, Aeschylus Sophocles and Euripides, whose work survives to show this development in the fifth century BCE. As the democracy developed the expression of comment and dissent emerged in a new type of secular satirical play which survives in the comedies of Aristophanes, but after the fall if Athens the comedy no longer had its political role and a new type of comedy of situational entertainment emerged as shown in the comedies of Menander with complicated family plots involving lovers, deception, mistaken identity, and clever plot twists. So Greek theatre performed many roles in society religious secular political and entertaining, at different times and in different strands of society.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
