When I think of Creon, Hitler comes to mind also as they were both powerful, tyrant leaders.

Ancient theatre of Greece

Flourished in Ancient Greece between 550BC and 220BC, became a significant cultural, political and military power during this period. There was festivals held as a cult of the god Dionysus.

Then, in the 500s BC, a poet named Thespis is credited with innovating a new style in which a solo actor performed the speeches of the characters in the narrative (using masks to distinguish between the different characters). The actor spoke and acted as if he were the character, and he interacted with the chorus, who acted as narrators and commentators. Thespis is therefore considered the first Greek "actor," and his style of drama became known as tragedy (which means 'goat song', perhaps referring to goats sacrificed to Dionysus before performances, or to goat-skins worn by the performers.

Thespis' new style subsequently became part of the official celebrations of the Dionysian festivals. In 534 BC, annual competitions for the best tragedy were instituted at the City Dionysia in Athens.

In 471 BC, the dramatist Aeschylus innovated a second actor, thus making dialogue between characters possible onstage.

Then, around 468 BC, Sophocles introduced a third actor making more complex dramatic situations possible. Three actors subsequently became the formal convention (the actors could still play more than one character, distinguising between them with masks).

The chorus could also function as a separate character rather than a narrator. In addition, the subject matter of the plays expanded so that rather than just Dionysus, they treated the whole body of Greek mythology. Greek theater buildings were called a theatron. The theaters were large, open-air structures constructed on the slopes of hills. They consisted of three principal elements: the orchestra, the skene, and the audience.The centrepiece of the theatre was the orchestra, or "dancing place", a large circular or rectangular area. The orchestra was the site the choral performances, the religious rites, and, possibly, the acting. An altar was located in the middle of the orchestra; in Athens, the altar was dedicated to Dionysus.

Behind the orchestra was a large rectangular building called the skene (meaning "tent" or "hut". It was used as a "backstage" area where actors could change their costumes and masks, but also served to represent the location of the plays, which were usually set in front of a palace or house. Typically, there were two or three doors in the skene that led out onto orchestra, and from which actors could enter and exit. At first, the skene was literally a tent or hut, put up for the religious festival and taken down when it was finished. Later, the skene became a permanent stone structure. These structures were sometimes painted to serve as backdrops, hence the English word scenery.

In front of the skene there may have been a raised acting area called the proskene, the ancestor of the modern proscenium stage. It is possible that the actors (as opposed to the chorus) acted entirely on the proskene, but this is not certain.

Rising from the circle of the orchestra was the audience. The audience sat on tiers of benches built up on the side of a hill. Greek theatres, then, could only be built on hills that were correctly shaped. A typical theatre was enormous, able to seat around 15,000 viewers.

Greek theatres were not enclosed; the audience could see each other and the surrounding countryside as well as the actors and chorus.The actors were so far away from the audience that without the aid of exaggerated costumes and masks, they would be difficult to see.

Actors wore thick boots to add to their height and gloves to exaggerate their hands so that their movements would be discernable to the audience.The mask is the best-known symbol of Greek camerons head.

A distinctive mask was made for each character in a play. The masks were made of linen or cork, so none have survived. We know what they looked like from statues and paintings of ancient Greek actors.

Tragic masks carried mournful or pained expressions, while comic masks were smiling or leering.

An actor's entire head was covered by his mask, which included hair. It has been theorized that the shape of the mask amplified the actor's voice, making his words easier for the audience to hear.

The Greek theatre history began with festivals honoring their gods. A god, Dionysus, was honored with a festival called by "City Dionysia".

When the solider enters the second time he was a lot more confrontational. When he walks on his gait is large and hid posture is very formal. When the solider enters his facial expression will be very frowned and very serious. If i played the part of the solider i would act very high in the hierarchy and status

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, Creon and King Henry 8th have quite a bit in common. I imagine Creon to stand with this exact posture to try and assert his authority over the state and create a dictatorial leadership. His facial expression displays pure fury and immediately allows Creon to become superior to everyone else in the room.

Haha good choice!!! He looks a little like he is about to start twerking! Very Creon!

Ancient Greek Theater was very different compared to today's theater. For instance, there would only be 3 main actors and the chorus would consist of an average of 10 soldiers in training. The audience would sit in a semi-circle theatron and would witness the play from the orchestra. The actors would enter from either the right or left parados, and would get changed into other characters at the skene, as because there was only 3 main actors, so they'd have to change costumes between scenes. The actors would also wear a mask to give the illusion that there were different characters, and that the actors weren't wearing different clothes as the same character.

This image represents Creon as it shows his hubris, he is an arrogant being, who will lash out if his orders aren't followed. This is seen when Creon lashes out at the chorus and the soldier when he discovers Polynices' body has been buried.

Creon is controlling and manipulative

I think this photo represents creon as the character, in the picture looks facially paranoidthis also shows creon's higher power and status with all his jewellery and gold clothing, the actions and movements creon is doing within the picture also demonstrate his demand for people to do as he says.

The Greek Theatre was mainly in the open air, and was usually a circular shape. The Theatres allowed 15,000 people in for the audience. All of the actors were men or boys. The Chorus, were a group of Dancers and singers which were mainly used to speak for the audience and for exposition. The Chorus usually came on once the main actors were changing costumes in the ‘Skene’. The plays were normally comedies or tragedies which taught a lesson of right and wrong.

I think this photo represents Creon the best because he is an angry ruler who wants the most power. The facial features best represent him because he is a tyrant.

YES SKY. Loving your justification and link to the text of his guards. 5 star sticker.

Very good image. The right age and as we all know beards equals power. His outfit signifies wealth and the laurel wreath head dress would be a good prop to remove in times of stress. Skills

Creon is a powerful and dominant dictator. The facial expressions shown in this picture demonstrates that he is a tyrant with a sense of malicious nature.

# data[].attributes.body
Creon is short tempered, a tyrant, arrogant and brimming with hubris. He says things and commands laws that are widely viewed as unacceptable or in layman's terms 'edgy'.
He also believes he is above the Gods, and can defy them. He is widely disliked and hated as a ruler, however has also has a small following of fanatics.
Just like trump.

Ancient Greece Theatre

During Ancient Greece, Greece tragedies were performed for 1000 years but were forgotten in the west until the 15th Century. During theatre only 3 actors took all the roles and would multi role throughout, all the actors would be men and they would all be professional and would play female roles.On stage violence is rare. The chorus would be useful for mask and costume change behind the scene.In Ancient Greece a lot of the plays were tragedies.The definition of tragedy is across time an enactment of suffering of which enquiries into its causes.The suffering can be physical,mental, or social or all three

The art form makes it bearable for us as actors to learn about why suffering occurs and how to cope with it as humans through the use of Ancient Greek Theatre.

Tyrant - Natalia
Creon thinks higher of himself; he is very controlive and manipulative showing power against anyone who disobeys him, this makes him secretly paranoid. however his determination to keeping to his laws makes him more threatening and intimidating

Creon is trying to "re-write" the laws and the way people should treat the gods which hasn't been done before. I also showed Creon as this Crayon because this crayon has a psychopathic face, the way this face is made is because of Creons large widened eyes and grins with a largely opened mouth to show he feels like he has power and cannot be threatened
from Jonny

A psychotic "law altering" pencil!!!!! Has somebody spiked my drink? Well written Jonny but not sure a wide eye and big mouth necessarily equates to power and a feeling that he can't be threatened? I n fact as we already discussed he is actually extremely paranoid...Nice try but no sticker this time I'm afraid.

Thinking that a pencil reminds you of Creon is a level of idiocy that I have not yet encountered on the course...however whoever has posted it prove me wrong and justify why a pencil with a face is the tyrannical ruler of Thebes!
