"And the old Attic comedy was pervaded by a coarseness which makes it utterly unfit for boys and women." 
Plato, Laws, Book 2, section 658d says that educated women preferred tragedies to comedies.

Plato, Gorgias, section 502d

Socrates:
Then it must be a rhetorical public speaking or do you not think that the poets use rhetoric in the theaters?

Callicles:
Yes, I do.

Socrates:
So now we have found a kind of rhetoric addressed to such a public as is compounded of children and women and men, and slaves as well as free; an art that we do not quite approve of, since we call it a flattering one.

Aristophanes says in Thesmophoriazusae. Line 1228 where in the exodus to the play the Chorus Leader implies "like good honest women, we each go straight to our own home after the play."
Aristophanes, Thesmophoriazusae, line 1226-

Leader of the Chorus:
Go your way! and a pleasant journey to you! But our sports have lasted long enough; it is time for each of us to be off home; and may the two goddesses reward us for our labours!

Laments, Lamentation and Mourning

Laments and lamentations play a significant role in ancient Greek tragedy. They serve as powerful expressions of grief, loss, and suffering, often amplifying the emotional impact of the dramatic events.

Key characteristics of laments and lamentations in Greek tragedy:

• Formal structure: Laments often follow a structured pattern, beginning with a statement of grief, followed by a series of complaints and pleas to the gods or the deceased. They frequently conclude with a cry of despair or a wish for death.
• Emotional intensity: Laments are highly emotional, conveying a sense of overwhelming sorrow and anguish. They often involve vivid imagery and hyperbolic language to emphasise the depth of the character's suffering.
• Cathartic function: Laments provide a cathartic release for the characters and the audience. By expressing their grief openly, characters can begin to process their loss and find some measure of closure.
• Social and cultural significance: Laments were deeply rooted in Greek culture and ritual. They were often performed at funerals and other significant events, reflecting the importance of communal mourning and the expression of grief.

Examples of laments in Greek tragedy:

• Hecuba's lament in Euripides' "Hecuba": Hecuba, the former queen of Troy, mourns the loss of her son Polydorus and the destruction of her city. Her lament is a powerful expression of grief and rage against the gods and the Greeks.
• Deianeira's lament in Sophocles' "Trachiniae": Deianeira, the wife of Heracles, laments her husband's death and the tragic consequences of her misguided attempt to win his love. Her lament is a poignant expression of regret and despair.
• Antigone's lament in Sophocles' "Antigone": Antigone, a young woman who defies Creon's edict to bury her brother, laments her impending death and the injustice of her fate. Her lament is a powerful statement of defiance and a plea for understanding.

Through these laments and lamentations, ancient Greek tragedy explores the complexities of human emotion and the devastating impact of loss and suffering. They continue to resonate with audiences today, reminding us of the enduring power of grief and the importance of expressing our emotions.
