Download or read book Greek Theatre in the Fourth Century BC written by Eric Csapo and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-06-18 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Age-old scholarly dogma holds that the death of serious theatre went hand-in-hand with the 'death' of the city-state and that the fourth century BC ushered in an era of theatrical mediocrity offering shallow entertainment to a depoliticised citizenry. The traditional view of fourth-century culture is encouraged and sustained by the absence of dramatic texts in anything more than fragments. Until recently, little attention was paid to an enormous array of non-literary evidence attesting, not only the sustained vibrancy of theatrical culture, but a huge expansion of theatre throughout (and even beyond) the Greek world. Epigraphic, historiographic, iconographic and archaeological evidence indicates that the fourth century BC was an age of exponential growth in theatre. It saw: the construction of permanent stone theatres across and beyond the Mediterranean world; the addition of theatrical events to existing festivals; the creation of entirely new contexts for drama; and vast investment, both public and private, in all areas of what was rapidly becoming a major 'industry'. This is the first book to explore all the evidence for fourth century ancient theatre: its architecture, drama, dissemination, staging, reception, politics, social impact, finance and memorialisation.

This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories from the Greek Tragedians - By the Rev. Alfred J. Church - Greek tragedy is a form of theatre from Ancient Greece and Asia Minor. It reached its most significant form in Athens in the 5th century BC. Greek tragedy is an extension of the ancient rites carried out in honor of Dionysus, and it heavily influenced the theatre of Ancient Rome and the Renaissance. Tragic plots were most often based upon myths from the oral traditions of archaic epics. In tragic theatre, however, these narratives were presented by actors. The most important authors of Greek tragedies are Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. The Story of The Love of Alcestis - The Story of the Vengeance of Medea - The Story of the Death of Hercules - The Story of the Seven Chiefs against Thebes - The Story of Antigone - The Story of Iphigenia in Aulis - The Story of Philoctetes, Or the Bow of Hercules - The Story of the Death of Agamemnon - The Story of Electra, Or The Return Of Orestes - The Story of The Furies, Or The Loosing Of Orestes - The Story of Iphigenia among the Taurians - The Story of the Persians, Or The Battle Of Salamis - The Story of Ion.
