Greek Theater Masks under Trump



Under Trump the country is inflicted with a daily stream of drama that makes the movie Bulworth look understated.

to the best choral dance performance. The prize was the slaughtering of the goat, "Tragodia" is a reference to the song that leads to the sacrifice of the goat, not the sound that the goat made.

Yes, I know it refers to the prize. Maybe this admin is closer to a satyr play?
