Tragedy, Sophocles, & The Women of Trachis

Dionysus & Drama Semele

The Dionysia 3 tragedies 1 satyr play Aeschylus Sophocles Euripides

Goat Song Tragos - goat Aoidé - song All-male cast Masks Chorus: 12/15/50 Lyric Song Dithyramb

Satyr Play Grotesque Stories Chorus of Satyrs –Half goat/horse with phalli

Originators as Innovators Thespis: 1st actor Aeschylus: 2nd Sophocles: 3rd, and maybe 4th All adapted myths to fit their needs (Euripides most of all)

Trachiniae of Sophocles Women of Trachis Chorus Death of Herakles

Herakles as archetypal hero miraculous conception threat to birth + infancy impossible adversaries trips to Underworld adventures in quest magical tools/weapons resistance of hero role or temptation

Zeus Iliad ff "I hasten to inform you that today there has been born a noble child who is to be King of the Argives. They have called him Eurystheus, and his father is Sthenelus, son of Perseus.
