The structure (plot) of the Greek play:

• A play opened with a prologue spoken by an actor who usually had no other role in the drama

• The prologue is followed by the Chorus to provide what is called as Parodos : a general lyrical commentary

• After the parodos, the play begins with a dialogue. Each section of the dialogue is called an episode. The play consist of several episodes separated from each other by the songs of the Chorus.

The chorus’ songs:

• The first song of the Chorus that follow the first episode is called the Stasimon

• At the end of the play there is a song that is called the Commos in which the actors participate in the chorus.

• The last part of the play is called the Exodus

A Greek Tragedy

• Is a well organized story; it has a beginning a middle and an end

• It has to illustrate the principle of tragedy and show the downfall of a hero who is from a higher rank (like a prince or a famous warrior). The hero must commit a mistake as a result of his pride (or hubris) and that mistake leads to his disaster (or Catastrophe)

• The tragic suffering of the hero arouse the feelings of fear and pity in the audience. The effect of such feelings is to produce emotional purgation (or catharsis)
