I was born to join in love, not hate-that is my nature.
- Sophocles, Antigone
How important was the rhythm in ancient Greek tragedies? How the rhythm can reveal the emotional shifts of a hero? Were the rhythms of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides so different?
Evangelia Thalassini, an actor and researcher of ancient rhythmic theory, discusses the power and the deep meaning of rhythm in the ancient Greek culture, while she recites part of Sophocles' Antigone in ancient Greek by using the original rhythm.

Absolutely spellbinding! I would love to see more on ancient performance and rhythms in the future!
Thank you Greene! There are more related material scheduled to be premiered soon!
Wonderful - very atmospheric thank you
Thanks for listening!
Bravo!
Thank you Chrysa!
Does this mean every Ancient Greek play has secretly been a musical the whole time??? With rhythm, dance, and music all interconnected to tell a more moving story! They were musicals!
Hello friend! We can not be sure about anything but we do know a lot of this amazing information Evangelia share with us that there was rhythm almost everywhere!
I liked the video but the performance, I'm afraid, completely disregards hundreds of years worth of studying the rules of Attic Greek accent and prosody. I'd reccomend stressing the fact that it's a "free" rendition and not meant to accomodate international academic standards in our understanding of Attic Greek.
Thank tou for your opinion.I must say that I investigate only the prosodic parameter of the rhythm of ancient greek drama not other elements like ancient greek accent because we do not know many things about it.
Thanks for watching and for your comment, Michail! As Evangelia said, we mainly focus on the musical aspects of our affiliate artists' performances, including rhythm but not accent. We hope that there are channels that can tackle accent-related issues more academically! We wish you the best in your academic research.
