Greek alphabet (Classical Attic pronunciation)

The greek alphabet is over 2500 years old, and still used nowadays. The Ancient Greeks took the idea of their alphabet from the Phoenicians. As the Greeks traded with the Phoenicians, the Greeks saw the Phoenicians using a writing language, so, the Greeks realized of the usefulness of the writing language, therefore they created their own alphabet.

The Greek alphabet is the first one to include vowels, and it was used to write fables, myths, legends, etc..

Now, write your name with the Greek Alphabet.

Greek theatre

Most Greek cities had a theatre. It was in the open air,

and was usually a bowl-shaped arena on a hillside. Some

theatres were very big, with room for more than 15,000

people in the audience.

All the actors were men or boys. Dancers and singers,

called the chorus, performed on a flat area called the

orchestra. Over time, solo actors also took part, and a

raised stage became part of the theatre. The actors

changed costumes in a hut called the "skene". Painting

the walls of the hut made the first scenery.

The plays were comedies (funny, often poking fun at

rulers) or tragedies (sad and serious, with a lesson about

right and wrong).

Typical Structure of a Comedy

Aristophanic comedies have a more elaborate structure than the

typical tragedy. The chorus is also larger: 24 (as opposed to 12-15).

1. Prologue: As in tragedies.

2. Parode (Entrance Ode): As in tragedies, but the chorus takes up a position either for

or against the hero.

3. Agôn (Contest): Two speakers debate the issue (typically with eight feet per line),

and the first speaker loses. Choralsongsmayoccurtowardstheend.

4. Parabasis (Coming Forward): After the other characters have left the stage, the

chorus members remove their masks and step out of character to address the

audience.

First the chorus leader chants in anapests (eight per line) about some important, topical issue, typically ending with a breathless tongue twister.

Next the chorus sings, and there are typically four parts to the choral performance:

1. Ode: Sung by one half of the chorus and addressed to a god.

2. Epirrhema (Afterword): A satyric or advisory chant (eight trochees [long-

short] per line) on contemporary issues by the leader of that half-chorus.

3. Antode (Answering Ode): An answering song by the other half of the chorus

in the same meter as the ode.

4. Antepirrhema (Answering Afterword) An answering chant by the leader of

the second half-chorus, which leads back to the comedy.

5. Episode: As in tragedies, but primarily elaborating on the outcome of the agon.

6. Exode (Exit Song): As in tragedy, but with a mood of celebration and possibly with a

riotous revel (cômos), joyous marriage, or both.

4. Now, you have to play the short theatrical part in front of the class. Meanwhile, the

rest of the class will be assessing it. There are four groups in total (two comedies and

two tragedies in total). All the members of the group must participate.
