Maybe you were watching a movie or hanging out with friends. Either way, you were probably observing comedy, which in literary terms is a genre of literature that adopts a humorous or familiar style and depicts laughable characters and situations. The comedy genre got its start (and its name) in Athens, Greece during the 5th century BC. Like tragedy, its tear-jerking counterpart, comedy developed from the Athenian celebration dedicated to Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and revelry.
