• Tragedy means “goat song” (relates to Dionysian rituals)

Myths played a key rolein Greek drama
![Page 18: Greek Theatre Overview Greek Gods Antigone Medea This Powerpoint is hosted on Please visit for 100’s more.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0f7f8b9ab05998e0e2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Myths – Why they were written
1. Explained the unexplainable2. Justified religious practices3. Gave credibility to leaders4. Gave hope5. Polytheistic (more than one god)6. Centered around the twelve Olympians
(primary Greek gods)
![Page 19: Greek Theatre Overview Greek Gods Antigone Medea This Powerpoint is hosted on Please visit for 100’s more.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0f7f8b9ab05998e0e2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Explained the Unexplainable
• When Echo tried to get Narcissus to love her, she was denied.
• Saddened, she shriveled to nothing, her existence melting into a rock.
• Only her voice remained.• Hence, the echo!
![Page 20: Greek Theatre Overview Greek Gods Antigone Medea This Powerpoint is hosted on Please visit for 100’s more.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0f7f8b9ab05998e0e2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
To justify religious practices
• Dionysian cults in ancient Greece were founded to worship Dionysus, god of grapes, vegetation, and wine.
![Page 21: Greek Theatre Overview Greek Gods Antigone Medea This Powerpoint is hosted on Please visit for 100’s more.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0f7f8b9ab05998e0e2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
To give credibility to leaders
The Romans used myths to create family trees for their leaders,
enforcing the made-up idea that the emperors were
related to the gods and were, then,
demigods.
![Page 22: Greek Theatre Overview Greek Gods Antigone Medea This Powerpoint is hosted on Please visit for 100’s more.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b0f7f8b9ab05998e0e2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
To give hope• The ancient citizens of
Greece would sacrifice and pray to an ORACLE.
• An oracle was a priest or priestess who would send a message to the gods from mortals who brought their requests.
Where DID hope come from?
After unleashing suffering, famine, disease, and many other evils, the last thing Pandora let
out was HOPE.
