Summary/Abstract: In everyday speech, the word 'tragedy' means something like 'very sad'. We will talk about a tragic collision at a busy intersection in which a young woman was killed, just as the ancient Greeks used the same epithet for a drama about the execution of a king in a similar place. Indeed, it may happen that 'very sad' is the best we can give when it comes to the far more exalted world of tragic art.
