One type of Greek drama was the satyr play, which featured goat-like creatures called satyrs. Another was tragedy, a word derived from the Greek word for goat combined with the Greek word for song.

Why were Greek and Roman works lost during the Middle Ages?

Some monks still kept and studied the ancient works, but the population couldn't read or write and soon forgot them. The Catholic church also made sure that all celebrations became religious celebrations in the Catholic tradition, so any ancient celebrations that had a pagan, Greek or Roman source became Catholic holidays. Christ Mass and Easter are two such celebrations that used pagan days for the creation of the new holidays by the Catholic church.
