Plays were written for a yearly festival, in honor of the god Dionysus, and were either Comedies or Tragedies.

How Does Art Change Your Perception of a Metaphysical Concept?
Death is a metaphysical concept that is abstract and theoretical in composition, but doesn't embody a material form. From person to person, there are a vast array of interpretations of what death is and what it means to each individual.
