1. Tragedy and comedy were the two kinds of drama performed in ancient Greece. Tragedy was a serious drama dealing with a common aspect of life, love, hate war or betrayal. The "Tragic Hero" was usually a rich and powerful person. His arrogance and pride were the hero's downfall. Comedy, on the other hand, was more about playwrights making fun of politics, respected or ordinary people, and ideas of the time. The scenes were filled with crude humor and slapstick situations. 

2. Pixar's Ratatouille is similar to a comedy from ancient Greece because it had slapstick humor and exaggerated body movement.

The Great Theatre of Epidaurus

This theatre was built as part of a sanctuary to the god of medicine, athletic, poetry, and musical contests. Dramas were held there seating an audience of about 14,000 people. It is considered the best-preserved ancient Greek theatre since it wasn't changed or rebuilt by the Romans.
