Nietzsche and Wagner: rebirth of the greek drama

The  aim  of  this  paper  is  to  point  out how Nietzsche  and  Wagner’s  works  contributed  to  the renewal  of  Ancient  Greek  drama.  The  thesis  which  is  going  to  be  defended  in  this  paper  is  that Nietzsche  and  Wagner  followed  different   paths:  while  Nietzsche  stood  as  the  representative  of  the  duality apolinean -dionysiac from  Ancient  Greek  drama,  Wagner,  in his Musikdramas ,  began  to  combine  ideas  of  christian  morality with  the  Ancient  Greek  model.
