Great job on the rewrite Myrvin, Paul August and Smeat75. If there is anywhere I could chip in, I'd be glad to help... Bahnheckl (talk) 21:31, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks but I really didn't do much. Paul August ☎ 01:32, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article on Comedy is called Ancient Greek comedy. Since these two genres, together with the satyr play make up the Ancient Greek theatre, shouldn't this article be called Ancient Greek tragedy? Bahnheckl (talk) 20:20, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just a small point. The quotation under "Apollonian and Dionysian: the analysis of Nietzsche" is an absolutely atrocious quotation from an Italian-language source (which looks like someone just ran it through Google Translate). Surely there are better sources for quotes from The Birth of Tragedy, yes?ExecutorElassus (talk) 04:46, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In the section "Apollonian and Dionysian: the analysis of Nietzsche," it is claimed that the Apollonian drive represents "…the wisdom and justice that symbolized the rational element of the God Apollo." I intend to replace this because the Apollonian drive had nothing to do with wisdom, justice, or reason. Lestrade (talk) 20:54, 22 February 2014 (UTC)Lestrade[reply]

Perhaps we could include a link to the Greek debt crisis. It has frequently been referred to in the news as "a Greek Tragedy". Iamahashtag (talk) 14:51, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The meaning of the phrase Greek Tragedy has changed recently. This page should therefore go directly to something like Greek Economy or grexit. The original page should be renamed something like Ancient Greek Theatre. Could put:

This article is about the Greek debt crisis. For the ancient Greek theatre, see Ancient Greek Theatre.

or at least some form of disambiguation page is needed to avoid confusion.

Have the Greeks lost their marbles? ;-) 66.155.23.67 (talk)

Maybe we could add at the top of this page in italics, "This article is about ancient Greek theater. See something for the ongoing Greek debt crisis."? Iamahashtag (talk) 17:53, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lot on the web about the unities, but were they adhered to by every genre? Aristotle was only writing about tragedy. Did, say, Roman comedy adhere to the unity of time? Vince Calegon (talk) 14:38, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that your article is well - written; as it gives a brief but efficient summary of notable areas of interest in regards to the subject being explored, but feel as though it lacks certain aspects that made Attic Tragedy interesting. Most notably a further analysis of the types of plays and how they influenced Greek Society during this period. For example, you note the Dionysia but dont explore how the play "The Bacchae" might have influenced such festivities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nealthane (talk • contribs) 18:17, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How many years before the birth of Christ was the first tragedy performed in Greece?? Sohon Ghosh (talk) 04:53, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The linked article itself argues that Aristotle never defined these characteristcs. Rather the characteristics were definded and somebody saw a striking similarity between some passages Aristotle wrote and the classical unities. I'm not an expert on this but it might need to be adressed Tiedren1 (talk) 02:57, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
