Where do you stand? Are you an Antigone and Agamemnon fan or does Lysistrata and the Frogs are more uiur thing? Is it King Lear and Othello or Much ado about nothing and As you like it that grab you? Or perhaps a tragicomedy like Iphigenia and The merchant of Venice floats your boat and are more of what you hanker for? I am hopping this thread will stilulate you and will soon reach 175.

In the colloquial sense or the classical sense?

I imagine that most people these days, particularly here, might view Lysistrata as a tragedy, particularly given their inability to turn it into a lesbian orgy (the orgê of the women went elsewhere).

I'd like to know more about the tragedy put on after the battle of Marathon, recounted in (I think) Herodotus, which was promptly banned for being far too upsetting.

I prefer comedy. I'd much rather see Much Ado About Nothing over say The Duchess of Malfi. Unrelenting misery and death doesn't do it for me. But if they made a version with Keanu Reeves I could possibly be persuaded otherwise

Well, happy to leave it open to interpretation. Re Lysistrata,

I wonder how would the principal of withholding favours as a mean of peace keeping would go down these days and how long it would last And yes it was Herodotus.

"If you females don't give me what I want, I'm gonna go gay!"

Might have seen the sentiment before

Lol, not sure about that but they obviously managed to create peace dialogue of sorts somehow.

But they do say that a good cry makes you feel better or that just a myth?

I think very little comedy ages or travels that well where great tragedy is universal and timeless.
