요약The genre of Attic tragedy was an essential agent in the mythmaking of ancient Athens. Like epic, tragedy was largely defined by its performance of centuries-old stories involving the heroes and gods of Hellenic culture. By the Classical period (c. 500-323 BCE), such myths already surrounded the everyday Athenian. A walk to the marketplace would take someone past temples to gods and cultural heroes such as Athena, Hephaestus, and Erechtheus. Painted vases depicted Heracles battling the Giants alongside the Olympians or subduing the infernal hound Cerberus. Tragedy, however, did not just depict singular frozen moments, but immersed spectators in the myths of their ancestors through performance. An Athenian in the 5thor 4thcentury BCE could sit in a space like the Theater of Dionysus and watch the stories they had heard since childhood come to life in the carved masks and painted backdrops of tragic drama. One could see Oedipus stumble out of his home weeping blood from his empty eye sockets, hearHeracles' pain as he wept for his murdered wife and sons. In the tragic theater, for just a few hours, myth became reality.It is no wonder, then, that tragedy was so influential in shaping discussion of Athenian and larger Greek mythology. When discussing the nature of Achilles and Patroclus' relationship, Plato chooses Aeschylus' Achilles(unknown date) as an example against which to argue. Plutarch's Life of Theseusat one point cites Aeschylus' Eleusinians(unknown date) and Euripides' Suppliant Women(423 BCE) when discussing decisions allegedly made by Theseus as Athens' king, despite Plutarch writing more than five centuries after Aeschylus and Euripides' careers. Plays like Euripides' Medeahave become the definitive interpretations of their source myths, regardless of whether they innovated upon or outright contradicted earlier versions. Tragic adaptations were a very prominent means of discussing or modifying longstanding interpretations of mythical stories and characters.The genre of tragedy-indeed, the medium of theater in general-also had a strong connection to how ancient Athenians expressed their civic identity. Citizens from throughout Athens flocked to witness dramatic contests during annual festivals such as the Rural and City Dionysia or the Panathenaea. In the case of the City Dionysia, Athens even welcomed visitors from other Greek cities, turning tragic dramas into a performance of Athenian culture for the city's own population and the outside world. By 444 BCE at the latest, the City Dionysia prefaced its theatrical contest with announcements and rituals involving all levels of the population. Athens' ten leading generals publicly gathered to pour libations. The Athenian government conferred honors upon citizens who had performed exceptional services to the state. Even the official freeing of slaves regularly took place in the theater before the tragic contests, at least during the 5thcentury. Theater-going was an activity fundamentally associated with one's status as an Athenian citizen, to the point where Plato once referred to the idea of mob rule as a "rule of the spectators".
