ANTIGONE : BLEND SPACE REVIEW Mrs. C. Murray

HISTORY OF GREEK THEATRE 1. Greek drama emphasized the attempts of human characters to control their own destinies. 2. Greek drama was presented exclusively at festivals honoring Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility. 3. The first recorded theatrical event took place in 534 B.C. and was a contest for best tragedy. 4 & 5. Conventions: Plays took place outdoors, a god often appeared, endings contrived by “deus ex machina”, and characters died off stage.

HISTORY OF THE GREEK THEATRE 6. Performers: Actors, Chorus, Supernumeraries (non-speaking extras), and Musicians. 7. The chorus contained 15 men, performed in unison, but sometimes as two subgroups that responded to each other. 8.The chorus expressed opinions, gave advice, and occasionally threatened to interfere in the actions, Expressed the author’s point of view, They served as the ideal spectator, reacting as the author would want the audience to react, helped establish the mood and heighten the dramatic effects AND added color, movement, and spectacle.

HISTORY OF GREEK THEATRE 9. Masks were worn to facilitate rapid change of roles, made it easier for male actors to play female characters AND helped the actor in assuming roles of different types. 10. SOPHOCLES:

FUNERAL PRACTICES If the body was not given a proper burial according to Greek ritual, the soul would remain trapped between the worlds of the living and the underworld. A Greek funeral was carried out in three stages: the body was prepared and laid out (prothesus or wake), the body was moved to the place where it would be interred (ekphora or procession), and the body or cremated remains were deposited in the tomb or grave. Women participated in the ritual lament by singing chorus to a sometime hired singer; and at the conclusion of the burial ceremony, the women were the first to leave so they could go home and prepare a banquet held in honor of the deceased. The men

FUNERAL PRACTICES Modern Day and Greek Burial Traditions: 1.Wake (Visitation), Funeral, and Burial 2.Mourning 3.Singing 4.Cremation 5.Buried with valuables.

ARISTOTLE'S TRAGIC HERO Modern Day Tragic Heroes: 1.The tragic hero is a character of noble stature and has greatness. 2.Though the tragic hero is pre-eminently great, he/she is not perfect. 3. The hero's downfall, therefore, is partially her/his own fault, the result of free choice, not of accident or villainy or some overriding, malignant fate. 4.The hero's misfortunate is not wholly deserved. The punishment exceeds the crime. 5.The fall is not pure loss. 6. Though it arouses solemn emotion, tragedy does not leave its audience in a state of depression.
