Greek Theatre Tragedies were produced as part of a religious festival every year in Athens. Awards were given to the playwright who presented the best series of three dramas. Plays were performed in vast outdoor amphitheaters that could seat 40,000 All actors were men. They wore masks with built-in megaphones so they could be heard. Actors’ movements were bold and definite. The stage was a slightly raised platform. Violent action took place offstage; messengers told the audience what had happened.

Greek Theatre (c0n.) The Chorus—a group of actors who moved and sang together— acted as one character and spoke in unison during the Choral Odes, which separated the scenes of drama. Greek theater incorporated unities of time, place, and action, which meant that there were no scene changes, and no complicated subplots; the plays took place in one day and in one place and focused on once event. The audience knew the story ahead of time. The emotion of the characters is what they came to see. THE “GREATEST THEATRE”--EPIDAURUS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CVO9Vd067U

Review Main Points of Oedipus Oedipus: Son of Jocasta and Lais. Sent away to be raised by Polybus and Merope. Accidentally fulfills his fate of killing his father (Lais)and marrying his mother (ew) Has four children: Antigone, Ismene, Polyneices, and Eteocles. Not only are they his children… but they are also his ______. (ew again!) Fun!

Review Main Points of Oedipus The oracle reveals that a plague is on Thebes because they were harboring a pollutant, or one who killed his own father Upon finding out what had happened, Jocasta kills herself and Oedipus stabs himself in the eyes, blinding himself. He then goes into exile and gives power to his two sons to share.

Review Main Points of Oedipus Polyneices and Eteocles agree to share rule when they are old enough Eteocles refuses to give up rule when it is his turn to do so Polyneices leads an assault on Thebes in retaliation, and the two brothers murder each other in the process Uncle Creon (Jocasta’s brother) takes over as king.

Creon’s Decree: Eteocles will be buried with honors because he died defending his kingdom Polyneices will be left to rot in the open so that birds will eat his corpse and he will die a dishonorable death because he attacked his own kingdom This goes against the rules of the gods Antigone believes he should have a proper burial and has to find a way to make it happen And so it begins…

Characters in Antigone: Antigone: daughter of Oedipus Ismene: daughter of Oedipus Eurydice: wife of Creon Creon: King of Thebes, uncle of Antigone and Ismene Haimon: son of Creon Teiresias: a blind prophet A Sentry A Messenger Chorus: elders of Thebes Choragos: leader of the Chorus Put parts on the board, write names of students who are taking the part for each class
