Why does suffering feel so overwhelming and yet so familiar? In this video, we explore how Greek Tragedy doesn’t just tell stories of pain, but teaches us how to live through it. From fate and grief to emotional collapse, the ancient Greeks understood something about suffering that modern life often tries to avoid. Drawing on playwrights like Sophocles and Euripides, this video looks at why tragedy isn’t about despair: it’s about recognition, endurance, and meaning.
