Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(8 pp) Do you ever wonder if the Greeks would
have booed a good comedy off the stage? I guess,
the chorus responding to, "a funny thing happened
to me on the way to the tragedy this evening, just
wouldn't cut it. It is tragedy that has survived
in the Greek theater. Were all our characters
doomed at the beginning of their lives? Did only
the gods reek havoc on these men, to cause their
failings, or did they contribute to their own
downfall as well. Or did blaming the action on
the Gods, absolve them of taking responsibility
for their lives? These are some of the questions
we will consider as we look at these men in action
in Homer's Illiad. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

are intensely emotional and focus on the horror of murder and violent death, often within the family. The characters are noble, often kings and queens, not ordinary folk. The chorus,
representing the society as onlookers, worries and bewails events, but is helpless in the face of the disasters befalling the main characters." When we look at this definition carefully
