Which best describes an ancient Greek tragedy? A - a play about human emotions with a sad hero B - a play with very satirical themes or tones C - a novel with a very sad or serious story D - a novel with a lot of action and suspense

The option that best describes an ancient Greek tragedy is A. a play about human emotions with a sad hero. Take a look at Antigone, for example. It's an ancient Greek play written by Sophocles, and is about a heroine whose life ended tragically because she wanted to fight for the things she believed in. Tragedies were rarely satirical, they were always quite moving and sad. Tragedies weren't novels, but rather plays, which is why C and D are incorrect.
