✦ Synopsis
In der Blütezeit der griechischen Tragödie musste jeder der drei Dramatiker, die an den Großen Dionysien, dem bedeutendsten Dionysosfest Athens, im Rahmen des Tragödienwettbewerbs um den Sieg kämpften, nicht nur drei Tragödien präsentieren, sondern auch ein heiteres Nachspiel, das nach den Satyrn, die immer den Chor bildeten, Satyrspiel hieß.
