Natyasastra as a (distorting?) mirror to the epic / puranic mythic image: the question of its dating

The first five chapters of the Natyasastra associate the origin of drama with the Vedic god Brahman, but presuppose the epic and puranic mythology, and explain the origin of drama and theatre in the epico-puranic mythic manner. That mythic exposition is, however, carefully styled and represents a my...
