The world of modern theater owes its roots to the tragedians of Ancient Greece. As far back as the 5th Century BCE, actors and playwrights were entertaining the masses with intriguing stories. Melanie Sirof unveils the ancient theatrical innovations that made the way for Broadway.
Lesson by Melanie Sirof, animation by Andrew Foerster.
”kills his father, and marries his mother. that sounds pretty tragic to me”
*i'm dying*
Hopefully not by your son.
we all are, pretty tragic, right?
Georgi Ion And then the way the Seacrestopolis says "It is most tragic!" so excitedly 😅
Georgi Ion That is pathetic, not tragic.
What’s really tragic is not only did Oedipus Rex come in second at the contest but we also don’t even have copies of Philocles tragedies to compare it to in order to determine if it was a fair loss. In fact we don’t even know the name of the play Oedipus lost too, the passage of the sands of time has robbed us of even that.
Finn
Most of not all of Philoces' works no longer exist in any form and have been lost to history forever.
"peace, love and catharsis" makes for an awesome catchphrase.
the ryan seacrest and mario lopez reference, i see you TED-Ed, i see you.
oumaima I DIDN'T NOTICE IM SCREAMING
Who are/were they?
I have no idea why this is so confusing to people, I found this easy to follow and it just explains how different early Greek writers went about constructing their plays.
It required basic knowledge of Greek Theatre to understand the references.
"Kills his father, and married his mother"
Sweet Alabama sounds...
He betrayed his family for family.
I am confused with my feelings.
This is a really clever way of presenting information, I love it
i also think so
altough a fun variant on the original style of TED-ED. I prefer the normal narrator with cold hard facts over this story telling type of education. Still a great video
Absolutely. The 'TV hosts' premise wears very thin by the end.
This video was an absolute masterpiece. The combination of the eccentric narrative style of this video, it's great insights for the viewer who pays close attention to detail, as well as its top-notch humour, make this a truly remarkable video. As a person not too acquainted with the greatest playwrights, let alone the greatest Greek tragedians of classical Greece, this really made me feek a combination of hopeless ignorance and unquenchable curiosity that I cannot properly describe. Kudos.
Same
I appreciate TED-Ed's attention to the classics and the ancient world. Keep it up!
I liked this format. It was funny and entertaining, and I don't think it was as hard to follow as other people made it out to be
Some of the Greek words heard in this video in Greek:
Aeschylus: Αισχύλος
Sophocles: Σοφοκλής
Oedipus: Οιδίπους
Jocasta: Ιοκάστη
Thespis: Θέσπις
chorus: χορός
parodos: πάροδος
+gijijijijijijijijijijji this is why it annoys me when they pronounce aeschylus and oedipus
whatchachattin What do you mean? What is the thing that annoys you?
they dont pronounce the dipthong (the two vowels next to each other) instead only pronouncing 'e', the greek itself has 'ai' and 'oi' for the initial syllables respectively but they say 'e' and 'e'
whatchachattin Thank you! But may I ask you something? How come you know how to properly pronounce the diphthongs? Have you studied Greek? I'm asking out of pure interest because I am Greek myself
I study Latin and Ancient Greek at University
This is amazing! For someone who has read some ancient plays and has just a little bit (but enough) of knowledge about ancient drama plays, this is a masterpiece!
"peace, love and catharsis."
WHAT
This is totally our lesson! Thanks for making it more entertaining.
no idea what just happened ?? anyone can tell me what happened ?
Did you watch the video?
Hiphopopotamus I'm sure he/she did, it was still hard to follow especially if you don't know anything about theater history.
The beginning of theatre as we know it today. In the time of the ancient Greeks, plays would be performed by a chorus of 50 men all singing in unison. Then one man steps out to become an individual, and is known as an actor. This happens until there are 3 actors on stage.
sWifteruniTe nop man. i am without works. this sux more then mosquitoes.
luis hernandez
*12-15. not 50. There wouldn´t even been enough space for 50 men.
I love how I know some of this. The Dionysus thing was cool. And the Greeks did *invent* tragedy. They knew the greatest heroes didn't get happy endings. Pretty sad, but what can you do? Greek tradegies and myths are awesome and twisted in a really odd way.
It definitely requires some background to understand what's going on, but come on, guys, this is great! Really, you have done amazing work. It's very entertaining and helps to renew the knowledge you had of ancient greek theatre. Even if you don't know a thing about it, the video is a super fun point to start introducing with it. Thank you so much!
this was so great haha studying for my theater arts class and this was so helpful!
This was absolutely amazing.
Awesome! Would love to see more theatre-related videos, not just math and science.
"Peace , love and catharsis " Lol I'm dying 😂😂😂
What a coincidence! Iwas just analysing Antigone by Thucydidis for my exam tomorrow...
Ioanna Karaiosifidou Thucydides didn't write Antigone.
driskilla i think she is well prepared xaxaxaxaxa
I sure am cant u see? and yes i know it! Am Greek ! it was my way of saying that i will totally fail
Ioanna Karaiosifidou sofocles actually wrote it, and btw ill also have a exam lol
***** Either way, those are some nightmare spawners!
i got assigned from my teacher to watch this.. i like it! :D
This was absolutely genius. I was laughing throughout.
I am in LOVE with the animation and presentation lmaooo
Well enacted. TED ED is now a studio!
Great resource!
im so happy that all of this is related to my english literature subject 💕
“A nice fellow who kills his father and marries his mother.”
And thus lay the seeds for an entire profession. Sometimes charging 200 dollars an hour....and a fifty minute hour at that.
(1000 points to anyone who gets this reference.)
What would we become without a bit of... psychoanalysis (ψυχανάλυση)...
its amazing how we went from this , to Musicals like Wicked,Cats or Les miserables!!
I actually enjoyed this
such a informative and masterpiece scene... 10/10
Incredible TedEd💫
awesome presentation
this one needed more work guys, this episode was just all over the place.
I need a worksheet on this video! Perfect
Great video!
Beautiful!!!!!!
Great job 👏
Great act🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏
I absolutely love the bgm
Wish I could have it
This is amazing :)
These are way better!!! I wish they would do more like this and caesar and Lenin and ones like that:)
I loved it so much
What about Euripides? It seems wrong to leave out one tragic ancient Greek playwright when there were only 3 with plays that still exist today.
Shout out to everyone who’s studying theatre arts!
Brilliant stuff
I liked it though. Good job. You never disappoint me
brilliant brilliant brillaint
Seacrestopolis and Mario Lopedokia must’ve been huge hunks in Ancient Greece.
i dont get it
I'd like to see a video about Aztec Gods or Aztec history in general.
Just send me a message or give me a call to make the Greek voice and I'll add subs too. I cant hear that english narration
I keep imagining the con-attorney in the History vs. series whenever Seacrestopolis speaks.
So strange that the historical points discussed are lost in the slap stick.
I thought that the greek tragic by excellence was Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta
that was cool!
I am not a literature student. Could you please tell me what does catharsis mean?
I love it soooooooo much
The last one most tragic
That's it I need to make a movie about that
4:35 ...no, it makes me feel sad.
"Peace, love and catharsis" needs to be a thing
i came after watching the story reviewed by the ML studios crew (Malaysia)
Best vid ever
Not a single mention of Euripides' contributions? O_o
ElvenAngel
Probably because Euripides was a terrible playwright that didn't contribute much.
Marlon Moncrieffe how dare you lol. Never heard of Medea? Let alone other great tragedies by Euripides
briliant ! here only perspective , from where u are mater
Theapus? Is that where the term thespian came from?
yes
the box office lady was not waving; she was saying "STOP! GIVE ME YOUR TICKETS OR PAY !!!"
good
Nice
This was a lesson worth -sharing- explaining... :|
the best ever video i have seen in my whole life
Hold up, I'm trying to know which of them was Addison Anderson and George Zaidan, but I'm really confused HAHAHAHAHAHA
...Mario Lopedochea....Interesting character TED.
I prefer one man narrative...
Secretosples and Mario Lopadocia sound like cool Greek guys. 🤣
the greek name's in english sound very od to me and im greek ,o,
oh here's a new topic on TED-Ed
why wen ever you hear a name you know in a difrent language sound od? to us
its an idea :P
i actually liked this kind of video hahaha
What? No Euripides?
He was in a complete other time period
I'm not sure I follow what's happening. Is this video heavily dramatized or is this (somewhat accurately) how modern theatre begun..?
It's about the transition of a large chorus telling a story in theater to having characters acting out narratives. And how the innovations lead more and more towards the modern theater that we know, with actors, speeches, and such.
It didn't happen all at once this took centuries but it happened in this way.
Peace, love and katharsis
,,U can't blame the guy, can you?"
where is euripides?
Para sa modules woh!
school is missing out on showing us this. I love this (:
Goat song!
peace, love and catharsis
i feel like im watching the hunger games😂
if you take a closer look the narrators even look like the ones from the hunger games🙈😬
You assume people know the basis of theater origin ... difficult to follow
the last story is obviously Othello
No, it's Oedipus.
Or is it?
Spongiforma squarepantii
Yes it is.
Or is it an Adam Sandler movie? Those are tragedies right?
+Spongiforma squarepantii A tragedy to watch
The messenger's explanation of the demise of Oedipus is not even in the slightest bit correct... Did they even read the ending of Oedipus?
What are you talking about? That is how it ended. After Oedipus realized that the prophecy was fulfilled, that he killed his father and bedded his mother, he gouged out his own eye with Jocasta's pins and self exiled himself, with Creon taking over the throne.
hi neutron
who the guy with orange and black hair.
hi
Mario Lopidochea does not sound particularly [ancient] Greek . Neither Christopoulos if this is the actual name.
Adds one actor
INNOVATION
That just sounds like iPhone
um
Wow
That's the problem with cougaring
