What plays did ancient Greece and ancient Rome create

Roman theater began before Roman culture began to emulate the Greeks. Little, though, is known of theater produced by Etruscans and other ancient cultures. The Roman plays that live on in written form were produced in Greek-style amphitheaters, and many of the plays were essentially rewritten versions of Greek stories. In ancient Greece, however, plays were unlikely to contain graphic violence or sexuality; the opposite was true in Rome.
