Our topic was a social topic. Greek theathar is a social topic because it affected the daily lives of many greek citizens. The greeks were also the earliest known people to have organized plays and shows. If not for the greeks we may not have things such as the movies and TV shows like we have today.

Greek Mythology In Theater

Greek mythology played a huge role in theater because deities were used to explain every day things from lightning on a stormy night to the waves in the Ocean. Theater started out with people acting out stories of these gods.

Comedy vs Tradegy

The Greeks specialized on two types of theater, Comedy and tragedy. Comedy focused on being fun and enjoyable to watch. Tradegeis focus on being sad and making the audieance cry. Tradegy was more popular than comedy in greece but both were important

Analaysis

Greek theater is centered around comedy and tragedy

much like most of our entertainment. I believe Greek theatar

is centered around this because of its origin, (mythology)

Most of the stories of the gods are of death and sadness.

The reason Greeks have theaters shaped like they do is

because they have a geography full of mountins and needed

to find places to build these giant theaters.
