Greek Theatre and Tragedy: An Introduction to Antigone English II Pre-AP

Lecture Outline The Festival of Dionysus The Theater of Dionysus Structure of a Greek Theater Conventions of Greek Drama Tragedy Sophocles and the Oedipus Myth

I. The Festival of Dionysus Dionysus – the god of fertility and wine; believed to liberate believers from personal trouble Festival of Dionysus

II. Theater of Dionysus

A fully constructed Greek theater would have looked like this:

II. Theater of Dionysus Outdoor theater sacred to Dionysus Held 14,000 people Used annually for the dramatic competitions at the Festival of Dionysus Also used for court cases

III. Parts of a Greek Theater Theatron: Greek for viewing place; the audience space

III. Parts of a Greek Theater Orchestra: Greek for dancing place; the whole circular performance space between the audience and stage

III. Parts of a Greek Theater Prohedria: Greek for front seating; the seat of honor in front of or around the orchestra for priests and dignitaries

III. Parts of a Greek Theater Parados: Greek for passageway; a side entrance into the orchestra where the chorus made its grand entrance

III. Parts of a Greek Theater Skene: Greek for tent; the building behind the orchestra used for storage

IV. Conventions of Greek Drama Actors Three actors – all male Chorus

IV. Conventions of Greek Drama Costuming Masks Cothurnus Robes Scenery and Action

IV. Conventions of Greek Drama Plot is often drawn from traditional myths Plays are written in verse (not normal conversation) Conversations often interrupted by chorus Prologue – beginning of play; contains dialogue which informs audience of the play’s circumstances Stasimon – a fixed choral ode (first is delivered after Prologue and the remaning stasima are delivered between episodes)

V. Tragedy Tragedy: A narrative centering on a person of high estate (a king, queen, royal, or noble) who faces serious and important actions which end in sorrow or disaster

V. Tragedy Aristotle’s Unity of Time, Place, and Action Time: One 24-hour period Place: Play takes place within one physical space Action: One basic story without subplots Action of the play arouses extreme pity and fear in the audience – pity for the protagonist and a sympathetic fear. Catharsis: the relief (purging of pity and fear) that the audience experiences, but the hero does not

V. Tragedy Tragic Hero Suffers (and ultimately falls) because of a personal flaw (hamartia) What do you think the most common flaw in tragedy is? Experiences strong emotions and comes to a breaking point Faces a horrible truth (catastrophe) Paripateia: a move from happiness to misery; a reversal of fortune

V. Tragedy The Fall Revelation Hero must fall from power and happiness High estate provides place to fall from makes the fall all the more calamitous because it involves an entire nation or people Many times, the hero brings about his own downfall due to his hamartia Revelation The hero will realize that he is responsible for the tragic events (wisdom through suffering) Disaster that befalls the protagonist should be inevitable, either decreed by fate or the clear outcome of his actions Protagonist must assert his force and dignity as a man and not take his destruction meekly without protest

VI. Sophocles and the Oedipus Myth One of the three great tragedians of Athens (the other two being Aeschylus and Euripedes). Considered the most successful playwright by Athenians – won the Dionysian festival multiple times Wrote 120 tragedies; 7 survive Best known for his Oedipus trilogy – Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone

VI. Sophocles and the Oedipus Myth Oedipus Rex
