Greek Tragedy!!!

Let’s review… What persuasion techniques did we learn about last class? –Ethos –Pathos –Logos Why is this important? We will see characters in Antigone use some of these techniques to get their way.

Let’s brainstorm… What characteristics are necessary in a Greek Tragedy?

The Three Unities Concept Most ancient Greek tragedies observed three unities –unity of time: with all action in the play unfolding in one day –unity of place: with all action occurring in one place –unity of action: with all events an important part of developing or resolving the conflict

According to Greek mythology, Dionysos was the son of Zeus (chief of the gods) and the mortal Semele, a daughter of Kadmos (or Cadmus). To protect Dionysos fro the wrath of Zeus's wife, Hera, he was taken as a child to Mount Nysa, where mountain nymphs took care of him. The cult of Dionysos celebrated his half-mortal, half- divine identity as well as the annual cycle of death and rebirth. It was thought that Dionysos not only freed worshipers from the restraints of reason, but also inspired poets and artists to divine creativity. As the Dionysian rituals became associated with dramatic productions, celebrations in the god's honor became more formal and ceremonial. Many Greek myths and tragedies were written and performed to honor Dionysis. Today we will follow suit and practice and perform Greek myths!
