which came to be known as tragedy‚ Thespis can be considered both the first dramatist and the first actor. Of the hundreds of works produced by Greek tragic playwrights‚ only 32 plays by the three major innovators in this new art form survive. Aeschylus created the possibility of developing conflict between characters by introducing a second actor into the format. His seven surviving plays‚ three of which constitute the only extant trilogy are richly ambiguous inquiries into the paradoxical relationship

CLASSICISM In the early 5th century Greek artists began consciously to attempt to render human and animal forms realistically. This entailed careful observation of the model as well as understanding the mechanics of anatomy - how a body adjusts to a pose which is not stiffly frontal but with the weight shifted to one side of the body‚ and how a body behaves in violent motion.
