The results of this muthos analysis indicate that in the classical period, neither formal structure nor the structure of events was determined by theatrical genre, but by the specific combination of tone and plot type.

Marsh concludes that the category of genre itself may be less helpful for classifying these plays than is typically assumed. Dr. Loren D. Marsh is a research fellow at Humboldt University of Berlin.
