Massive dumbth. Greek tragedies have no supernatural events? No happy

Greek tragic poets, and only two Elizabethan.

Looks to be translated or by someone for who English is not their first language. Looks like someone's school or college essay. Try looking at Sir Philip Sidney or Thomas Nashe instead.

with the plot of “Iphigenia Among the Taurides”.
