Greek Theatre Both had their beginnings in the Greek theater thousands of years ago. Tragedy began about 535 B.C. to be followed by comedy around fifty years later. The Greeks somehow thought that laughter is not our first impluse, but obviously needed some relief from tragedy. Tragic figures began as unique, idalized, almost God-llike characters. They appeared to have everything going for them. Through no fault of their own they became victims of fate, an external enemy, or incredibly bad timing. What began as a seemingly happy life ended tragically.
