Ancient Greeks would frequently attend the recitals of plays such as The House of Athens. Often, the themes of the tragedies wou

Answer:

Exact Answer For Edmentum. Hope it helps :)

Explanation:

The plays that depicted tragedy in Greek mythology played an important role in the social life of ancient Greeks. The tragedies arose because of the social problems that were plaguing the ancient citizens. The tragedies helped citizens answer questions about the way one should behave in society. They also helped one understand how to accept the problems that arise in life. The myths also express the ways through which the gods would punish people if they commit hubris.

The first act of tragedy in the House of Athens is the storms that Poseidon sent to the city after losing the contest to Athena. The people pacify Poseidon by removing the women’s right to vote. In ancient Greece, men expected women to look after the household. Men would arrange marriages for their daughters, and no women could cast a vote. The play demonstrated the inequality that existed between the genders in ancient Greece.

The second tragedy that occurred in the play was the deaths of Cecrops’s daughters Herse, Pandrosus, and Aglaurus. The sisters died after disobeying the orders of the goddess Athena, ordering them not to view the child Erichthonius. The sisters disobeyed the orders and viewed the child, but his appearance scared them. The story shows the mysterious ways through which the gods work to protect humans from harm, but disobeying the gods can lead to unfortunate circumstances.

The third tragedy that struck the House of Athens was Tereus’s infidelity. Tereus seduced his wife Procne’s sister, Philomela (or sexually assaulted her). The adulterous act in itself was hubris, but Tereus also mutilated Philomela by cutting off her tongue.

The fourth tragedy was the death of Procne and Tereus’s son Itys. Procne killed and served her son to Tereus after discovering Tereus’s infidelity. Therefore, all three protagonists committed hubris, and the gods turned all three into birds. This, too, shows how Greek society viewed and reacted to adultery and cannibalism. They believed that the gods would punish the guilty in severe ways.

The fifth tragedy was Procris’s death. She died after her husband Cephalus accidentally killed her with a spear. He doubted her fidelity to him, and so he hatched a plan to find out if she was faithful. When she hesitated once, he flew into a rage and she fled in rage. She eventually forgave his indiscretion. However, soon afterward, Cephalus killed Procris with the spear she gave him. This shows how much the ancient Greeks valued fidelity and trust between husband and wife.

The sixth and final tragedy that affected the House was the sexual assault of Creusa by Apollo. The story shows that even the gods are not immune to committing hubris. A greater force will punish the gods, but they will always look after any children they have with mortals.
