'It's a tragedy' is used to refer to the undeserved death or injury of a person. In reality a tragedy is a piece of drama in which the plot shows a hero struggling against defeat and dying. This type of drama originated in Ancient Greece. The Greek word tragodia is translated as 'goat songs'. It is not known what these plays had to do with goats.

Some have suggested that originally the actors, or just the actor playing the hero, appeared on the stage wearing goatskins or with boots of goatskin.
