and Dramatic Arts
In ancient Greece, drama was a form of literature.
Dramatic arts were the contents necessary for writing, acting,
costume and scenic designs. The word drama comes from the
Greek word, "to do". Greek drama is usually associated with all
the ideas of action. Often, drama is thought as a kind of a story
in the lives of the characters.

| Literature
The literature of the Greek people happened from
about the 2nd millennium BC until now. The literature was developed
as a national expression with little outside control, but it was
like that only until the Hellenistic period, and it had some effect
upon all of the European literature.
During the early period of all of the Greek Literature
had almost entirely verse in this form. Another gender developed
in the 6th century BC was a type of thoughtful poems which were
related to the ballad. In about the 5th century BC, some of the
earliest Greek ordinary language were working now for surviving
where it was produced.

| Art and Architecture
The art and architecture
of Greece and Greek colonies dated from about 1100 to the
1st century BC. They have their own reasons in Aegean civilization.
Greek art illustrated by the copy of their living and it's concerned
both with some formal proportion and with lots of actives of action
and emotions. The primary subject of their matter is the human
figure, which stands for either gods or man such as monsters,
animals, and plants.
Greek architecture is usually worked by marble
or limestone using wood and tiles for making the roofs. Some large
chooser slates were made out of plants of hammers bronze or consisted
of wooden cores covered in gold. Now you can see that the Greeks
were very artistic.
