The text aims to provide classical students with essential facts while also appealing to a broader audience that seeks to appreciate these ancient plays without necessarily having knowledge of the Greek language. Norwood meticulously discusses the dramatic structure, scansion of lyrics, and the contributions of prominent playwrights like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, providing insight into the evolution and significance of this dramatic form.  The opening of the work introduces the literary history of Greek tragedy, tracing its origins back to the worship of Dionysus and the performance of dithyrambs. It delves into how early forms of drama evolved through the contributions of figures such as Thespis, who introduced the first actor, and discusses the role of various playwrights in shaping the genre. Literary advancements, including the introduction of spoken dialogue, comedic elements, and the significance of dramatic structure, are highlighted as essential to the growth of Greek theatrical art. Overall, the beginning sets up an informative framework for understanding the profound influence and legacy of Greek tragedy in the context of both historical and contemporary literary analysis.
