The origins of Greek Tragedy
Classical Athens is famous for the introduction of theatre and Tragedy. But it didn't just appear out of nowhere.
In this episode I try and piece together how it developed and ended up as a main component of the City Dionysia at Athens. All this with rude puppets, wild processions, the odd phallus and politics.
Music by Brakhage (Le Vrai Instrumental).
