The Past is Present
Recent scholarship on the legacy of political violence has revealed two findings that deviate from the literature, a positive correlation between political engagement and the experience of violence and no correlation between religiosity and the experience of violence among Crimean Tatars after the 2014 Russian annexation. In this replication using the original dataset, we show that their findings were based on a coding error, unwise use of factor…
Children of Heracles
Society and Politics in Post-Fifth-Century Tragedy
The chapter focuses on the continuities between fifth- and fourth-century tragedy. It examines political, intellectual and ethical concerns that appear to have remained unaffected by the sociopolitical changes. It examines the well known view that tragedy in the fourth century was more “rhetorical” than “political”, suggesting that there is little evidence to support it; and that fourth-century tragedy, far from evolving away from the concerns of…
Reported Assembly Scenes in Greek Tragedy
This paper presents a detailed consideration of the three democratic assembly meetings that are reported in Greek tragedy. The three scenes in their different ways reveal a preoccupation with a tension between elite rhetoric and popular wisdom in a democracy. Behind this preoccupation lies a shared assumption: that many people attended assemblies expecting their minds to be made up; and that persuasive oratory and the popular judgment of persuasi…
Republicanism, Rights and Democratic Athens
In a recent article Paul Cartledge and Matt Edge argue that the modern republican tradition offers a useful framework for understanding the Athenian concept of freedom, and that within this framework the Athenians protected their freedoms without reference to a concept of rights. This paper agrees with both of these conclusions but identifies and corrects three assumptions behind Cartledge and Edge’s argument: that the only purpose of rights is t…

The demos in Greek tragedy
This paper looks at a relatively neglected character in Greek tragedy: the people. I cannot claim to produce a complete survey of this issue; however, I shall identify some different ways in which a tragic poet could portray a city's population, and discuss some examples. This is an important and interesting topic for two reasons, which are linked throughout, for behind my argument is the contention that a consideration of the original staging of…
The Politics of Greek Tragedy
This book demonstrates how Greek tragedy can be called a political art form and why this is an exciting idea both for modern scholarship and to modern theatre producers and audiences. The central argument is that Greek tragedy made itself politically relevant to the members of the Greek city-state (polis) generally, rather than to Athenian democracy narrowly. The book begins by explaining the historical and theatrical context of first performance…
Was Attic Tragedy Democratic
This article begins with a detailed response to Simon Goldhill's paper in the Journal of Hellenic Studies, 107 (1987), on the civic ideology surrounding Attic tragedy. His view, that the Dionysia was a festival promoting the values of the democratic polis, requires substantial qualification. I then suggest my own interpretation of the evidence Goldhill cites for ceremonies at the Dionysia, referring also to several of the dramas. Tragedy at the D…
