Today in class we watched even more of "The Greeks" and listened to Liam Neeson describe history. Today was about the time of Theater in Athens and how some plays were funny and some got stuff thrown at them. Athens favorite plays by far were tragedies. Sometimes when something was really sad the entire audience broke out in tears all at once. Homer wrote some of the most famous of these tragedies before writing was even around. The Iliad and the Odyssey are two of the most famous plays/epics to come from Greece.
