Drama
The Ancient Greek had two different types of plays. They had tragedies and comedies. Tragedies were sad dramas. They often didn't end happily and were a lot more serious than comedies. Tragedies were closer to modern plays in the sense of format. They had scenes and it was held like a modern play. Some plays were even musicals. Comedies were very different. They were much more informal and funny. People would go on stage and mock and joke about a well known town member. Both plays however were held in dramatic festivals in Athens.
