Summary/Abstract: The contemporary playwrights Edward Bond and Timberlake Wertenbaker have repeatedly expressed their admiration for the Greeks, their myths and culture. Bond has pointed out the repercussion of Greek culture on Western civilisation. In this sense he has declared that “Greek society created us. We still live in the world of the Greeks” (Observer, 6 Aug 1978). He wants the audience to be able to rationally analyse the truth about Greek history, the birthplace of capitalism.
