Ancient Greek tragedy, starting with the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, became the basis for all subsequent tragic works. They brought to the theatrical arts such key elements as the use of the choir, complex plots, themes of fate, pride and imminent fall, which became the basis of the tragic genre.

Shakespearean tragedies such as "Hamlet," "Othello" and "King Lear" continued the tradition of classical tragedy, bringing new themes, characters and emotional depths to it. They became a model for many late tragic works and continue to inspire theater artists and directors around the world.

The impact of classical tragedies on theatrical art extends far beyond the Western world. They inspired playwrights, directors and actors across cultures, helping to create universal works of art that are still relevant and important to our understanding of human nature and destiny.
