Besides the above, look into:
The Oresteia by Aeschylus
The Frogs by Aristophanes
The Bacchae by Euripides
Other Greek literature you might be interested in:
The Illiad by Homer (epic poem, not a play)
The Odyssey by Homer (epic poem, not a play)
The Symposium by Plato (good discussion of Greek views of love)
The Aeneid by Virgil (actually Roman, but story deals with Greco-Roman mythology)

The others have all mentioned some great examples of Greek tragedies but seem to have neglected the comedies. Aristophanes wrote some hilarious plays - many with anti-war, etc. themes that are still poignant today.

Classic? Oedipus Rex, Antigone, The Trojan Women, and many more. Do searches on playwrights like Sophocles and Euripides....
