What does it mean by the greek literature the unity of time, place and action?
Greek literature and theatres believed in what the called The Unities, which are exactly as you describe them unities of time, place, and action. What this means is that the Greeks greatly prized works which followed the idea of the unities. These works took place over the course of 24 hours (unity of time), in one place (usually within a city’s wall, unity of place), and that the work only followed on plotline without subplots (unity of action).
