Tragedy In a figurative sense a tragedy (from Classical Greek τραγωδία, "song for the goat", see below) is any event with a sad and unfortunate outcome, but the term also applies specifically in Western culture to a form of drama defined by Aristotle characterized by seriousness and dignity and involving a great person who experiences a reversal of fortune (Peripeteia).
Georgios Samaras, aka The Greek Tragedy, is pictured here wheeling away after scoring Celtic's second goal today. This went some way to reversing his fortunes after his sad, unfortunate (not to mention fucking shite) performance in midweek.
Aristotle would have had, no doubt, plenty to say about this Freddie Mercury lookalike of a striking enigma. I myself would just prefer it if he'd settle on either being really rather good or just piss-poor.
Some consistency please.
