1.  " The ancient greeks took drama very seriously and used drama as a way of investigating the world." There was 3 types of dramas, comedy, satyr plays, and tragedy which is one of the most important. Comedy represents laughter and people saying comical things, while there is usually no pain or distater. Satyr plays were kind of a mix between tragedy and comedy.They featured satyrs which involved greek mythology.

Poem of the gods Greek gods are very powerful. They can be very unique and colorful. They live forever, they are eternal. The gods rule the world. Don't take them as a joke, you won't see them at Disney-world. Never mess with a Greek god for it would be a mistake. Gods like Zeus could hit you with a lighting bolt and give you a great ache. Gods have special abilities that humans do not. They can light a building on fire, that would be very hot. Poseidon is the god of the sea. Hera is the goddess of family. Goddesses are powerful too. They are just likes the gods, you won't find them in some zoo. Take my advice, have respect for the gods. For they aren't weak, they dont run in pods.
