The greek drama was born as part of the god Dionysus' worship. So at the beginning it had a great religious and sacramental character. Later, during classical era, when the greek drama came to its complete development and acme, it aquired a more social and political character. Ancient Greeks did not use the word "watch" when they went to a theater, but they used to say that they were "tought". The same term we use today when we talk about the greek drama.
