Sophocles, Euripides, Aeschylus

All three are ancient Greek tragic poets and the only ones whose completed works have survived.

If these three did not exist:

-we would not learn much information about the culture of ancient Greece.

-we would not have had the definition of tragedy by Aristotle in his work “Poetics”: “Tragedy then is the imitation of an action, serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude, in a language beautiful in different parts with different kinds of embelishments, through action and not narration, and through scenes of pity and fear bringing about the ‘Catharsis’ of these or such like emotions.”

-the ancient theaters (the spaces) would not evolve and consequently neither the modern ones.

-we would not have some of the most beautiful and instructive myths.

-acting would not have developed.

-acoustics would not have been developed.

-Sigmund Freud would not have introduced the term “Oedipus complex”

-Carl Jung would not have introduced the term “Electra complex”

-we would not have anything to learn in drama schools

-we would not have any performances to present in Athens and Epidaurus Festival.
