Critiques

Main takeaways:

1. Greek tragedy is the result of honoring the god Dionysus with an agon (a poetic competition).
2. Each competitor submitted a tetralogy: 3 tragedies and 1 comedy (to lighten the mood).
3. Aeschylus is the greatest. In fact, by popular vote, the one-time-performance rule was broken to bring his work back to the stage.
4. The tragedy is an evolution of the dithyramb.
5. There is always an interplay between the chorus and the actors.
6. The audience of Greek tragedy was already well acquainted with the material, i.e. the myths, thanks to Hesiod and Homer.
