Greek Play


            
             Writing takes a lot of time and creativity. Even for someone to sit down and write, they never compose a masterpiece right from the start. Yet when you look at the Greek classics, you are mesmerized by the author's ability to make it look so easy. It looks as if they were able to compose literary classics overnight. As if their mind never stops to pause but keeps on creating. Sophocles has it and Aristophanes has it, though both had it on different plans of writing Greeks literary masterpieces. To be a writer of Greek stories, plays you cannot lack, cannot be a second rate writer. Now a-days the entertainment business puts out anything; B-rated movies get produced and showed every week it seems. In Ancient Greeks B-rated plays would never get put on the stage, it would be sacrilegious to deem such a suggestion. If you did not have a top-notch play then your story did not reach the theater. If you did not win a bard you were seen as anything but great, and anything less than great did not cut it. Greek writers of tragedy and comedy paved the road of greatness that is used down through the ages from such writers as Shakespeare. It takes talent to write such works of art; in this paper you are going to see two great authors contrive two great aspects of Greek writings; characteristics of a Greek tragedy featured in Sophocles Oedipus the King, and a Greek Comedy shown in Aristophanes" Lysistrata.
