Speaking of ancient Greece, maybe you will think of the Olympic Games, maybe you will think of Greek mythology. However, from the point of view of literary youth, the most memorable thing in ancient Greece is undoubtedly the ancient Greek tragedy, and the names of the three great tragic writers in ancient Greece are also resounding. King Oedipus by Sophocles, Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus, and Medea by Ale Vides all had a profound influence on the history of western literature.

In fact, historically, the earliest ancient Greek tragedies originated from the celebrations in Dionysus. From Nietzsche's works, we can know that the main symbol of Dionysus is fanaticism. In this extreme fanaticism, people will choose to wear masks and play mythical characters and stories to tell their beliefs. Thus, a series of performance industries have been formed. In the ancient Greek amphitheater, actors wore masks with different symbols, expressed their roles and story lines through singing or lines, and sometimes even needed chorus to introduce the background of the story. In these tragedies, the protagonist is often tortured by fate and constantly struggles to change his own destiny.

Therefore, the earliest ancient Greek tragedy was an emotional catharsis and expression, which, at a deeper level, reflected the ancient Greeks' outlook on fate: fate controlled all this.

Therefore, in the tragedy, the protagonist will eventually fall into the cycle of fate and be powerless. This is quite different from China's thought that man can conquer nature, but it is also the charm of ancient Greek tragedy.
