cyber day 9 4/1/20

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/1rStsT...
