1) Describe the kinds of dramas that were performed in the theaters of ancient Greece.  the Greeks wrote two kinds of drama, that included comedy and tragedy. tragedy was a serious drama about common themes like love, war, hate, and  betrayal. the main person was someone usually of importance. comedy was filled with humor. it was used to make fun of higher people and politics.  b. Describe the similarities between an ancient Greek production and a film you have seen recently. The Greek production – and the film – can be either a comedy or a tragedy. i am picking the movie Romeo and Juliet. this movie was based on a play that was written in the 1500's. it is a tragedy about a girl and boy who fell in love but their families hate each other. the greeks loved their plays, they put much thought into their plays.  3) Find an online image of a theater from ancient Greece, post it to your blog, and describe it in a few sentences. https://images.app.goo.gl/1rStsTcXPPssUCMN6

Bucephalus and Alexander were  inseparable. they were best friends. Alexander was the only one person who could ride this horse. he rode this horse everywhere and all the time, into every single battle he has been through. Alexander got this horse at age 12 or 13 by wagering with his father. a horse dealer offered this horse for 13 talents, which is remarkably high.  Bucephalus was a huge black stallion, who was known to be untamable until Alexander came along. he turned the horse away from his  shadow so he didn't have to see. saying that Alexander was the only one who could tame him shows how close of a bond they have, horses put lots of their trust into their owner if they are worthy enough. when Alexander was older he was away on an  excursion and someone kidnapped  Bucephalus. he died 326 BC and Alexander named a city after him.
