The Healing Power of
Ancient Greek Drama
Did you know that
the Asclepieia in
Ancient Greece were
health care centres?
Really?
Really?
Muse of Music: Euterpe Muse of Tragedy: Melpomene
Such as?
That was
pretty
advanced back
then….
But why was theatre
therapeutic? The connection
between a
healing process and theatre came
from the fact that theatre was
unquestionably a musical
experience due to the chorus, and
ancient Greek music was actually
used in medical therapy. Music’s
healing functions were well known in
those days and people felt so much
happier by listening to music or
watching performances.
A. Fill in the gaps as you listen.
This shows that the physicians of
ancient Greece understood that the
healing process was also dependent
on the psychological and emotional
state of the patient.
This is why patients were given the
chance to watch or participate in
various events that would help
them regain their health but also
socialize.
B. Fill in the gaps as you listen.
And there was a reason for this, especially for
the construction of the theatres. Did you know
that words have always had the power to heal
or manipulate the soul? All human feelings …
fear, joy, sadness, compassion are voiced and
that’s why speech has been used to educate
and comfort the soul.
You’re right! The Greek word
psychagogia indicates that
entertainment should come from
the education of the soul …
αγωγή in Greek on the one hand
means actions taken for the
mental, spiritual and physical
development of man and on the
other a method of treating a
disease or disorder.
C. Listen and fill in the missing word.
Aeschylus
D. Listen and fill in the missing word.
Aeschylus
For instance, in Prometheus
Bound Aeschylus writes that
words like doctors could cure
the psyche and the mind.
Ωκεανός προς Προμυθέα:
οὔκουν, Προμηθεῦ, τοῦτο
γιγνώσκεις, ὅτι ὀργῆς
νοσούσης εἰσὶν ἰατροὶ λόγοι;
Oceanus to
Prometheus:
Surely you realize,
Prometheus, that in the
case of a disordered
mood words act as
healers.
E. Fill in the gaps as you listen.
Ancient Greek dramatists had a great
interest in human behavior which was
exposed on stage to help audience
recognize their own conduct. Very
much like contemporary psychoanalysis
they probed into the human psyche
allowing it to unfold in words but also
actions. The word drama actually
comes from the ancient Greek drān
which means to do.
F. Fill in the gaps as you listen.
G. Fill in the gaps as you listen.
In his Poetics,
Aristotle indicates
that the main
purpose of tragedy is
to lead to catharsis, a
manifestation of pity
and fear that can
purge both senses
and soul. The
spectators, by
sympathizing with
the characters of a
play, learn to
recognize their own
worries and recover
from any emotions
that would unsettle
the community.
Sigmund Freud
H. Listen and fill in the missing word.
