About Our Trip……Theater was a celebration in ancient Greece. The Athenians of the fifth century B.C. held festivals to honor Dionysus, their god of wine. During these holidays, citizens gathered to watch competitions between playwrights, who presented plays derived from well-known myths. These plays depicted events that exposed arrogance and that emphasized reverence for the gods. Egyptian Pharaoh image Courtesy of Nova Development. VFT MENU

Sophocles wrote three tragedies about the royal family of Thebes, a city in northeastern Greece. These tragedies were Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone.

Greek Theater finds its origins in religious rites that date back to 1200 BC. The worshippers of Dionysus exhibited emotional hysteria or “ectasis” that followers related to purification. This emotional display evolved in time into Greek theater. Egyptian Pharaoh image Courtesy of Nova Development.

Sophocles Web Links Biography Biography The ancient Greek dramatists Sophocles wrote on hundred plays, but only seven remain in existence. His most famous are the three dealing with Oedipus Rex (Oedipus the King), Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone. This trilogy was written over a span of forty years. Born in Kolonos, near Athens, Sophocles was one of the most respected Greek dramatists of his time. Sophocles frequently won first place in the competitions of plays performed in the Dionysian festivals. Sophocles was mainly concerned with the search for truth and self-understanding, even when the search leads to tragedy. Egyptian Pharaoh image Courtesy of Nova Development.

Chorus Web Links Some readers think Sophocles gives so important a statement to the Chorus because he regards its members as a collective conscience for the community. Others disagree. They claim the chorus is best understood as another character who is no more or less complicated than the other players. There is no single way to interpret the chorus and its role, but most commentators stress its importance. Egyptian Pharaoh image Courtesy of Nova Development.
