all of the above, true its fro the ancient roman theater (also because "deus ex machina" is latin not greek) and it symbolises an unexpected, seemingly "divine" intervention in a situation of difficoulty.Where does deus ex machina come from?
The second answer is correct. It's Latin, not Greek.Where does deus ex machina come from?
It means a God Out of the Machine... I think it might have been said about the industrial revolution first.. don't quote me.Where does deus ex machina come from?
It is a concept from ancient Greek theatre. If a actor was playing a 'god', they would be suspended from a crane or similar structure. Literally, 'god from the machine'.
From Roman theater where the part of the gods was played by a person in a basket above the theater stage floor.
