Greek tragedy is a form of theatre from Ancient Greece and Asia Minor. It reached its most significant form in Athens in the 5th century BC, the works of which are sometimes called Attic tragedy. Greek tragedy is an extension of the ancient rites carried out in honor of Dionysus, and it heavily influenced the theatre of Ancient Rome and the Renaissance. Tragic plots were most often based upon myths from the oral traditions of archaic epics. In tragic theatre, however, these narratives were presented by actors. The most acclaimed Greek tragedians are Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides.
Etymology
Aristotelian hypothesis
The origin of the word tragedy has been a matter of discussion from ancient times. Our primary source of knowledge on the question is the Poetics of Aristotle. Aristotle was able to gather first-hand documentation from theater performance in Attica, which is inaccessible to scholars today. His work is therefore invaluable for the study of ancient tragedy, even if his testimony is open to doubt on some points.

we're smashing mics in karaoke bars
you're running late with half your make-up on
this method acting might pay our bills
but soon enough there'll be a different role to fill
i love this feeling
but i hate this part
i wanted this to work so much
i drew up our plans on a chart
cars are flipping, i'm in hot pursuit
my character's strong but my head is loose
she hits like ecstasy
comes up and bangs the sense out of me
the tarot cards say its not so bad
and the blades rotate there's just no landing pad
and better have said it, but darling you're the best
i'm just tired of falling up the penrose steps
i hate this feeling
but i love this part
she really wants to make it work
and i clearly want to let it start
we'll build a water slide
as soon as i get home
oh and she hits like ecstasy
comes up and bangs the sense out of me
it's wrong but surely worse to leave
she hits like ecstasy
so free up the cheaper seats
here comes a greek tragedy

We're smashing mics in karaoke bars
You're running late with half your make-up on
This method acting might pay our bills
But soon enough there'll be a different role to fill
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I love this feeling, but I hate this part
I wanted this to work so much, I drew up our plans on a chart
Cars are flipping; I'm in hot pursuit
My character's strong, but my head is loose
[Chorus 1]
She hits like ecstasy
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me
[Verse 2]
The tarot cards say it's not so bad
And the blades rotate; there's just no landing pad
And better have said it but, darling, you're the best
I'm just tired of falling up the Penrose steps
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I hate this feeling, but I love this part
She really wants to make it work and I clearly want to let it start
We'll build a water slide as soon as I get home…
[Chorus 2]
Oh, and she hits like ecstasy
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me
It's wrong, but surely worse to leave
She hits like ecstasy
[Outro]
So free up the cheaper seats

The world of modern theater owes its roots to the tragedians of Ancient Greece. As far back as the 5th Century BCE, actors and playwrights were entertaining the masses with intriguing stories. Melanie Sirof unveils the ancient theatrical innovations that made the way for Broadway.
Lesson by Melanie Sirof, animation by Andrew Foerster.
Greek tragedy is a form of theatre from Ancient Greece and Asia Minor. It reached its most significant form in Athens in the 5th century BC, the works of which are sometimes called Attic tragedy. Greek tragedy is an extension of the ancient rites carried out in honor of Dionysus, and it heavily influenced the theatre of Ancient Rome and the Renaissance. Tragic plots were most often based upon myths from the oral traditions of archaic epics. In tragic theatre, however, these narratives were presented by actors. The most acclaimed Greek tragedians are Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides.
Etymology
Aristotelian hypothesis
The origin of the word tragedy has been a matter of discussion from ancient times. Our primary source of knowledge on the question is the Poetics of Aristotle. Aristotle was able to gather first-hand documentation from theater performance in Attica, which is inaccessible to scholars today. His work is therefore invaluable for the study of ancient tragedy, even if his testimony is open to doubt on some points.
