Here is a list of classic pre-1914 sources and studies on ancient Greek drama:

August Nauck's works:
- Tragicorum Graecorum Fragmenta (first published 1856; a critical edition of fragments of Greek tragedians)
- Editions and commentaries on Euripides, Sophocles, and Aristophanes from the mid-19th century
- Notable for textual criticism and philological scholarship on Greek drama.wikipedia+3
Friedrich Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy (1872):
- A foundational philosophical work analyzing the origins and nature of Greek tragedy
- Introduced the concepts of Apollonian and Dionysian elements in art
- A key work in the intellectual tradition of understanding Greek drama beyond mere texts.wikipedia+5
Aristotle's Poetics (circa 330 BC):
- The classical treatise on dramatic theory and tragedy that influenced centuries of scholarship
- Widely studied and commented on by scholars in the 19th and early 20th centuries.blackwellpublishing

Other broad contextual resources include 19th-century philological studies and editions of the classical playwrights as part of the growing scholarly tradition in that era, focusing on manuscript traditions, dramatic structure, and theatrical performance conventions.

These sources represent core classic scholarship and foundational texts on ancient Greek drama that were widely referenced and shaped the academic study of Greek tragedy prior to 1914.
