First sentence: The form of mass entertainment commonly known as "Greek" tragedy was not a widespread phenomenon but a peculiarly Athenian art form, closely associated with the life of a particular polis ("city-state") at a particular time, namely Athens in the latter part of the fifth century (500-400) BCE.
