the festival required each playwrite to submit three tragedies and one satyr play.
Greek tragedies also derived from the festival of dionysia and there was three main playwrite each performing there three tragedy plays and on satyr plays each on a consecutive day. the playwrites were Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. in these plays the actors would all be male and would all where large masks so there expressions could be seen by everyone in the audience as the theatres were very large (sometimes the actors would even be on stilts to make themselves look larger). the plays involved a chorus of people which sung there respones to the actors and this is where the word (chour) derived from.
