Paragraph 2
There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption (假定) that drama evolved (演化) from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world—even the seasonal changes—as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then kept and repeated until they became fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, provided material for art and drama.
