Abstract

The main idea of this article lies with the consideration that the Greek theatre is of great importance to the understanding of the boom and decline of Athenian democracy. This thesis is based on the stage involvement in the democratic discourse through the use of the dialogue and the debate where conflicts of political significance with a clear democratic character are outlined. These conflicts are those that we will glimpse in this work, without losing sight of the context in which they occur. With this aim, we try to demonstrate the existence, in a real democratic life, of a series of current theories in which tragic and comic authors occupy a pre-eminent place. This objective is set out as a metaphor that goes on bringing reflections up to our present, at a critical moment in which a large number of voices are talking about the crisis of the Western democracies.
