how did it take generations to innovate from one actor on stage to two actors on stage to eventually THREE actors on stage
why did they impose such a rigid structure on what must be included in a play, how the chorus responds and at what points, the speech patterns, number of acts, types of characters, etc.?
it seems so alien

Just in general why there was so much structure around everything. Elizabethan theater is the same in a lot of ways but also more familiar because it's English and more recent. But the focus on iambic pentameter, having a set number of acts, etc.
From what I'm reading about Greek theater it's completely alien with all day performances (how?) and "satyr plays"

No that makes sense. I'm talking about the plays flowing a strict format

How does it serve the performance?
I agree that his writing flows very well when written in that format, but what other role does it play?

Can you please rank these speeches
To be or not to be
Alas poor Yorick
Tomorrow and tomorrow
All the worlds a stage
Our revels now are ended

This is just based on my personal preference but:
Alas poor Yorick
All the world’s a stage
To be or not to be
Our revels now are ended
Tomorrow and tomorrow

by ancient accounts, the development was staggeringly quick. there were older ritual songs dedicated to dionysus called dithyrambs that seemed to be the archaic precursor (like what hank_scropio posited), but apparently aeschylus was the first guy to move from one separate actor to two separate actors (in the context of athenian tragic plays performed at dionysian festivals), and it was only a generation or so earlier that someone had moved from just the chorus to the chorus and a single actor -- so they could have a very basic dialogue, but the chorus could still dance around the stage as was traditional. even in aeschylus, the forms of all his extant plays are weird in terms of how you treat the chorus (i.e. the only speaker in dithyrambs), like he's still heavily playing with the form. only a generation or so later, you get sophocles and euripides, who crystalized the classic form of athenian tragedy. my hot take is that it's not a coincidence that the rapid interest in and development of these big artistic/literary phenomena coincided with athens becoming rich as hell and culturally dominant over the greek world through the persian wars. ascending empires tend to be where some of the coolest stuff is produced, and it's often quick as fuck, like tragedy.
american literature already peaked and our art is shit because we're a decaying, crumbling empire, btw. enjoy our vapid, self-indulgent female novelists.
