Greek tragedy introduction
Greek tragedy originated from Aristotle's definition in his work Poetics from 330 BCE. Aristotle defined tragedy as an imitation of a serious action using poetic language that arouses pity and fear in the audience and results in a catharsis or release of emotions. According to Aristotle, the six elements of tragedy are plot, character, thought, diction, spectacle, and melody. The plot involves the arrangement of incidents, characters are the people who act, and thought, diction, spectacle, and melody refer to insights, dialogue, visuals, and sounds respectively. Tragedies also follow the three unities of time, place, and action and have a standard structure of a prologue, parodos, episodes, stasimon,
Greek theatre
Aristotle's Poetics, written in 335 BCE, analyzed Greek tragedy and established the first principles of dramaturgy. It defined the three unities of time, place and action, requiring that a play's events occur within one day and location. Aristotle felt Sophocles' Oedipus was the best tragedy due to its plot, language, irony and nobility. Old comedies by playwrights like Aristophanes satirized society through improbable plots, choruses and direct addresses to the audience. The three great tragic playwrights - Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides - established the genres of tragedy and introduced innovations to the Greek stage.
Structure of Greek play
The structure of a Greek play consisted of a prologue, parados, episodes separated by songs from the chorus, and an exodus. The chorus' songs included a stasimon after the first episode and a commos at the end involving actors. A Greek tragedy followed specific conventions - it had a beginning, middle, and end; illustrated the downfall of a heroic figure due to a mistake stemming from hubris; and elicited emotions of fear and pity in audiences. The structure of modern tragedies includes an introduction, development/complications, climax, denouement, and catastrophe. Key differences between classical and modern drama include religious focus versus entertainment, mythological versus normal characters, the role of fate versus personal

Greek Drama Powerpoint2
Greek drama originated in ancient Greece between the 6th and 5th centuries BC. It grew out of the festivals and rituals honoring Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility. These festivals featured choral songs and dances reenacting Dionysus's death and resurrection. Over time, actors were introduced to play different roles, and the plays became more dramatic and complex. The major playwrights who developed Greek drama were Thespis, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Their tragedies were performed in outdoor theaters for thousands of spectators and followed conventions like the three-actor rule and the use of masks. Common themes included the hubris and downfall of a tragic hero

This document provides an overview of the origins of drama in ancient Greece and Rome. It discusses how Dionysus was the Greek god of wine and how Thespis was the first Greek playwright. It then summarizes some of the major tragic Greek playwrights like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides and describes the typical elements of Greek tragedy plays. In contrast, it notes that the Romans did not produce much original drama and instead favored more violent entertainment like chariot races and gladiator fights involving enemies and lions.
The chorus
The chorus originated in ancient Greek festivals honoring Dionysus, where groups would compete in singing and dancing. These choral competitions eventually became part of Greek plays. The chorus remained an important part of Greek dramas as it provided commentary, exposition, and engaged with characters. Composed of trained singers and dancers, the chorus had its own scenes between acts and participated throughout the entire play through song, dance, and dialogue.
Greek Tragedy & Chorus
Greek tragedies followed certain conventions:
They were performed in large outdoor theaters holding thousands, with no microphones or scene changes. The chorus commented on the action through songs between dramatic episodes, helping establish mood and interpret events. Plays focused on a single storyline over a short period in a single location, with the chorus representing community thoughts.
The function of chorus
The chorus in Greek tragedies served several functions: commenting on and reacting to the plot, establishing ethical frameworks, adding spectacle through song and dance, and pacing the action. In Oedipus Rex specifically, the chorus represents the citizens of Thebes and gradually comes to understand and pity Oedipus's fate over the course of the play through their odes, guiding the audience's emotions and response. They dramatize the unfolding of events and their own enlightenment.
Information about Chorus
The document defines and discusses the chorus. It provides information on the chorus in three contexts: Ancient Greek plays, where the chorus commented on and explained the play's events through music, poetry and dance; Greek tragedies, where the chorus expressed social and moral attitudes; and during the Elizabethan age and for modern scholars, where the chorus can come at the beginning, between acts and scenes, and at the end of a play. The chorus serves to set the mood, introduce characters, and provide commentary and moral perspective.
Six Elements
The document outlines Aristotle's six elements of drama: plot, which is the arrangement of incidents that make up the beginning, middle and end of a story; character, who are the agents that make the action possible; thought, or the underlying message or universal truth of the work; diction, referring to the vocabulary and order of words used; music, encompassing all sounds heard; and spectacle, or what is seen on stage, though Aristotle saw this as least important for tragedy. It asks the reader to consider how to apply these six elements.

Plays were performed outdoors with minimal technology, requiring large masks and exaggerated movements. Tragedies told of a noble character's downfall through a flaw, while comedies mocked society. The structure included a chorus that sang and danced, and up to 3 actors who responded while wearing masks that amplified their voices and conveyed emotion from a distance.

One potential theme is that relationships can be complicated and unpredictable. The lyrics describe a partner who sends mixed signals and keeps changing their mind ("hot then cold", "yes then no", "in then out", etc.). This reflects the theme that romantic interests don't always behave logically and relationships don't follow a straight path. The ups and downs depicted prove this theme of unpredictable and complicated relationships.
Oedipus
Greek dramas were performed in theaters carved into hillsides to honor Dionysus, god of wine. Myths featured the capricious Greek gods interacting with and affecting humans. The most famous Greek tragedies are Sophocles' Theban plays about the cursed family of Oedipus. They deal with themes of fate, free will, hubris, and the unintended consequences of actions. According to Aristotle, tragedy elicits pity and fear in the audience by showing a character fall from prosperity due to a tragic flaw.

Huckabee greek tragedy introduction and padlet
Greek drama originated as part of religious festivals in ancient Greece honoring Dionysus. Tragedies focused on examining the consequences of individual actions, humanity's relationship with the gods, and the role of fate. A tragic hero was a noble protagonist who made an error in judgment, or hamartia, which led to their downfall and death, providing catharsis for audiences. Common playwrights included Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, who presented plays at the Festival of Dionysus that followed certain conventions and the three unities.
Greek tragedy
Greek tragedy originated from the dithyramb, a hymn to Dionysus. There are various hypotheses about the origins of the term "tragedy" including that it comes from the Greek words for goat and song. Aristotle defined key concepts of tragedy including imitation, catharsis, hamartia, and the tragic hero. Tragedies were performed as part of religious festivals, usually featuring three playwrights each presenting three tragedies and a satyr play over three days.
Greek Theater
Greek theaters had common elements like the machina, a crane used to simulate flying, the ekkyklema, a wagon to reveal characters, and trap doors. Performances used masks to distinguish characters and amplify sound. There were three main types of Greek plays: comedies to amuse audiences through mistakes and silly situations; satyr plays that parodied myths with drunkenness and pranks; and tragedies that taught moral lessons through a hero's suffering caused by human and divine actions, often ending in misery. Some key playwrights included Aristophanes for comedy and Sophocles for his surviving tragedies including Oedipus Rex and Antigone.
