themes and problems of the Renaissance.

Their main theme was the love between human beings and mythological characters. 
 
The plays didn´t give an indirect but valuable insight into Greek society in general or provide details on 
the workings of political institutions, legal systems, religious practices, education, etc. 
 
Quite similar to the tragedy, the plots had its origin in the traditional myth and legend. Its main theme 
was human relationship, mainly concerning love. 
 Unlike tragedy, the plots didn´t originate in traditional myth and legend, but were the product of the 
writer´s creative imagination. The main theme was political and social satire.
