Abstract

This research aims to study drama in ancient Egyptian and Greek civilizations, identifying the factors that contributed to its evolution, as well as the similarities and differences between the drama in these two civilizations in terms of content, form, and function.      The study explores the historical origins of drama in ancient Egypt, which was linked to rituals and religious celebrations. It then moves to ancient Greece, which saw the rise of advanced theatrical forms such as tragedy and comedy. The research also focuses on analyzing the available dramatic texts and plays from both civilizations. The study concludes that there are similarities between drama in Egypt and Greece in terms of their ritualistic roots. However, they differed in their purpose and content. The research also confirmed the influence of Egyptian drama on Greek drama in terms of theatrical techniques and the art of acting. In conclusion, the study shows that drama played a significant cultural and civilizational role in both ancient Egyptian and Greek societies.
