Greek Writing History

Greek writing is something that makes Greek history Greek. There were three main types of Greek writing. There was comedy, which was to make you laugh, “ha ha!”. There was tragedy, which was to make you sad and sitting on the edge of your seat,”boohoo *tear rolls down cheek*”. Then there was sapphire which was to make you really think about what was going on and was filled with facetiousness,”Wow! I didn’t know that, even though I literally just said it!*eye roll*”. Many stories were written and had to do with morals, had relations to god(s) and/or goddess(es), and they were more complex than today’s stories. Every Greek Story has some long and complicated story behind it; like Oedipus The King. In today’s story, if it says that protagonist went to jail for murder; the protagonist was more than likely the antagonist.

Though whether or not we will acknowledge it or not, we’ve all had the urge to have an “my name is nobody” moment and want to stab their eye out; metaphorically or actually. Though I mean, how ingenious is it to tell somebody that your name is Nobody, stab their eye out, and have them sounding like a madman screaming “NOBODY STABBED MY EYE OUT,”? I mean Odysseus put some thought into that one. Though what can I say, the Cyclops only stopped teaching because he lost the one pupil he had…. Get it? Though in my life, I see/talk to sapphire, comedy, and tragedy either everyday or almost everyday. My brother is the tragedy, he is constantly in trouble and everything caused him grief in the long term. Whether it’s not being able to go to Boy Scouts, having to miss soccer, or swim because of his ill-advised behavior.
