What were the two main types of theatrical performances Ancient Greeks did? What were they, how were they different?

Greek comedies were not always funny. The term “comedy” referred to a play that had a happy ending. Comedies centered around an average person, the “everyman hero.” The ancient playwright Menander wrote what could be termed the world's first situation comedies: humorous stories about ordinary people, often told in episodic form.

Greek tragedies dealt with the more serious aspects of the human condition, such as love and loss. These plays featured a “tragic hero”: an otherwise good person who makes a foolish mistake, usually as a result of arrogance. His mistake destroys him, and often those he loves. The tragic hero is usually rich, powerful, or “above average.”

the main reason that the constitution did not proclaim all men to be free and equal is because of the issue of slavery.
