Superior Psychology Taught In Ancient Greece

view arrogance
of 19th 20th century
new psychology

psychologists
thinking themselves
inventers of wheels

clever Ancient Greeks
knew better how to treat
an ill audience in mass

enthrall with moral enemas
enigma in dramatic insight
morality in staged lessons

acts through drama comedy tragedy
plays staged to heal amoral social ills
of Greek then contemporary society

acts as a celebrated community event
no individual shrink ego unfavourable
no dread social attached connotations

in free city state attend citizens
poor enter free are community paid for
all receive social entertainment

enlightenment received together for stability
of an entire Athenian city populace community
for yearly harmony of city state prosperity

an educated city state populace harmony
through 2 festival seasonal performances yearly
3 comedy 1 tragic plays each festival day

superior social psychology
in classical Greek cities taught
Dionysia and Lenaea festivals

late spring beginning winter festivals
business stopped freed are prisoners
in order to fully celebrate participate
