Greek Drama Greek drama explores the human condition: Certainty/Uncertainty Free will vs. destiny. Moral responsibility. Human suffering So what? The Greeks were the first to make drama a major part of culture.

Greek Drama The conventions of modern drama trace back to Greek drama. Convention: a common characteristic. Conventions the two share: Performing on a stage. Breaking a performance into sections (scenes). Following the archetypal story pattern (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, denoument/resolution).

Greek Drama Greek drama appears during The Golden Age of Ancient Greece (500—300BC). Everyone went to see plays. An important part of Greek culture.

APPEARANCE OF THE THEATER Keep in mind the following: The theater was completely outdoors. There was no curtain. There were few props, and they DID NOT change throughout the play. Sketch this drawing in your notes. Where the chorus performs.

Theater of Dionysus, in Athens

Greek Theater at Syracusa

What about the actors? Wore huge masks and platformed shoes. All male. Only a few on stage at a time. Actors played several roles by switching masks. Compared to modern plays, think how strange it would be to see plays acted out using masks like these!

STRUCTURE OF GREEK TRAGEDIES MAJOR POINT: NO VIOLENCE ON STAGE. If violence is part of the story, the characters talk as if it happened somewhere else. Prologue: First scene of the play (exposition). Parados: Chorus’s first song. Scenes: Major divisions of a play (rising action). Odes: Chorus songs between scenes—review the action from the scenes. Divided into strophes and antistrophes of equal length. Strophe: The chorus moves from right to left while singing. Antistrophe: The chorus moves from left to right while singing. Exodos: The final scene of the play (climax, falling action, resolution.

THE THREE UNITIES ALL Greek plays follow the three unities: Unity of time: The plot of the story takes place in a single day. Unity of space: The setting of the story is one location. Unity of action: Everything in the story relates to a single plot (no subplots/side stories).

THE ARCHETYPAL TRAGIC HERO This archetype originates in Greek drama: The hero… Is highborn / noble. Has good intentions. Is true to life (i.e. believable). Has a reversal (a change in fortune for the worse). Has a hammartia (Another word for tragic flaw.) The most common hammartia is hubris (excessive pride). Experiences a tragic downfall, which is in some way his fault. Experiences catharsis: either a brutal punishment deserved or a brutal lesson learned.

THE GREEK CHORUS All men, who wore masks. Link between the actors and the audience. Sometimes advises a character. Separates scenes and summarizes action. Represents some kind of community voice.

IRONY Many Greek plays make use of irony. There are three kinds: Verbal irony. Dramatic irony. Situational irony.
