    Massive dumbth. Greek tragedies have no supernatural events? No happy
    endings? Not to mention the implications that there were only three
    Greek tragic poets, and only two Elizabethan.

    Looks to be translated or by someone for who English is not their first language. Looks like someone's school or college essay. Try looking at Sir Philip Sidney or Thomas Nashe instead.
