On the eve of re-issuing Webster's pioneer work on Tragedy and its Monuments, this article attempts a kaleidoscopic view of the present state of that interdisciplinary study. There is new evidence, including some with a possible bearing on the early popularity of Euripides outside Athens (as reported by Plutarch); his superior popularity in later Antiquity is also stressed. A few working hypotheses seem to merge: revival of interest in the second century AD transformed the craft of acting (as in Comedy) — in performance, comedies may have outlasted tragedies. Tragic myths are depicted as myths, while stage illustration stands for feats of acting, as evidenced by the emphasis on servant parts
