<P> The structure of Greek tragedy is characterized by a set of conventions . The tragedy usually begins with a prologue , ( from pro and logos , `` preliminary speech '' ) in which one or more characters introduce the drama and explain the background of the ensuing story . The prologue is followed by the parodos ( entry of the characters / group ) ( πάροδος ) , after which the story unfolds through three or more episodes ( ἐπεισόδια , epeisodia ) . The episodes are interspersed by stasima ( στάσιμoν , stasimon ) , choral interludes explaining or commenting on the situation developing in the play . The tragedy ends with the exodus ( ἔξοδος ) , concluding the story . Some plays do not adhere to this conventional structure . Aeschylus ' `` The Persians '' and `` Seven Against Thebes '' for example , have no prologue . </P>
