Tragedies were serious plays that dealt with important themes such as love, loss, and betrayal. They often ended with the deaths of the main characters. Some of the most famous Greek tragedies include Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, Antigone by Sophocles, and Medea by Euripides.
Comedies were lighter plays that were meant to entertain the audience. They often featured farcical humor and slapstick comedy. Some of the most famous Greek comedies include The Birds by Aristophanes, Lysistrata by Aristophanes, and The Frogs by Aristophanes.
Satyr plays were short, humorous plays that were performed between tragedies. They often featured satyrs, who were half-man, half-goat creatures. Satyr plays were usually bawdy and ribald, and they often made fun of the serious themes of tragedies. Some of the most famous satyr plays include The Cyclops by Euripides, The Satyrs by Sophocles, and Ichneutae by Sophocles.
