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.”
