Plutarch contrasted the dithyramb's wild and ecstatic character with the paean. According to Aristotle, the dithyramb was the origin of Athenian tragedy. A wildly enthusiastic speech or piece of writing is still occasionally described as dithyrambic.

A. If you really want to get to the roots of tragedy an excellent work is Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music" written some time ago but still a very interesting and very informative classic. You are right. "Tragos" in Greek refers to the male goat. The tragedy developed out of the ceremonies in the worhship of the god Dionysos, in which some of the worshippers/performers wore goat skins, had tails and horns, and "played the goat". The was the song, which was originally made up on the spot, sung during the worship of Dionysus and apparently it had both a serious side and an entertaining side to it. Dionysus is also said to be the god of wine and his worship was almost certainly an ecstatic affair like some sort… [cont.]

A. A few of them: Burns Stanza - "Pastoral refers to a literary work dealing with shepherds and rustic life. Pastoral poetry is highly conventionalized; it presents an idealized rather than realistic view of rustic life." An echo verse is a line in a poem that repeats the last word or words, sounding like an echo... such as "We went to the beach beach beach" A ballad is a type of poem often set to music with a lyrical quality to them. Concrete poetry is a poem in which the visual layout of the words of the poem is important to it's meaning or appeal. You can find many more of these on google... since you only need 20 of them, just use the ones you can find.
