Performing Greek dramas in Sparta would have been a nearly impossible task. First, because Sparta’s public meeting were controlled. All of the public meeting spent the time praising Spartans made sure there was not time for offensive behaviors or words by “focus[ing] on

Greek Theatre and Medieval Drama: Distant Siblings Greek theatre and medieval drama were both very popular artistic events in their own periods of performance. However, from ancient Greece to the renaissance, time has set them apart in terms of methodology; their practitioners use a creative process based off of different mindsets. Therefore, the significant time lapse between the two genres has had an evident impact on the way theatre was perceived and presented. In comparing aspects such as religious

dramatic heroines. Women from famous legends and myth were popular topics of study in the arts, but this does not mean they were spared from gendered expectations and roles. This paper will study representations of Greek tragic heroines in Athenian drama and on vase paintings. Through case studies of Alcestis, Medea, Electra, and Clytemnestra, I will see how perceptions of these women consistent or varying across the different art forms, how they upheld expectations of decorum, and how they are shown

Drama Response #1 Euripides created a vicious but magnificent tragedy, in which the audience is able to see and analyze the underlying motives that Dionysus choses to base his actions upon. Dionysus, as a jealous god and a manipulative character, is well-emphasized in the second choral lyric of this play. Lines 632-636 in this tragedy describes what obstacles Pentheus has encountered, since his showdown with Dionysus initially took off. “He razed the palace to the ground where it lies, shattered
