Agon, Greek word meaning ‘contest’, used to define the conflict which lies at the heart of Greek
tragedy, transmuted into a clash between two principal characters, sometimes with a hint of physical violence. Normally, however, the
agon took the form of a debate, where the only weapons were words. For this a second actor, the Deuteragonist, was added to the original
Protagonist of early drama. A third actor, the Tritagonist, was added later, thus widening the scope of the action, all three men being of equal repute and standing.
