Explanation:

Drama festivals were known as Dionysian Feasts, which lasted for days and where the Greeks, in addition to singing, dancing and offering sacrifices to the gods, watched several plays and held theater contests.

Every day, two theater plays were attended, a tragedy in the morning and a comedy in the afternoon.

Tragedies were considered to be superior plays because they told stories of the gods. The jurors of these plays were men of the aristocracy.

Comedies were not considered very important, as they told stories of ordinary men and had ordinary men as jurors.
