Adapting Greek Tragedy: Contemporary Contexts for Ancient Texts
"Adaptations of Greek tragedy are increasingly claiming our attention as a dynamic way of engaging with a dramatic genre that flourished in Greece some 25 centuries ago but remains as vital as ever. In this volume, fifteen leading scholars and practitioners of the theatre systematically discuss contemporary adaptations of Greek tragedy and explore the challenges and rewards involved therein. Adopting a variety of methodologies, viewpoints and app…

Greek Tragedy After the Fifth Century: A Survey from ca. 400 BC to ca. AD 400
Did Greek tragedy die along with Euripides? This accessible survey demonstrates that this is far from being the case. In it, thirteen eminent specialists offer, for the first time in English, broad coverage of a little-studied but essential part of the history of Greek tragedy. The book contains in-depth discussions of all available textual evidence (including inscriptions and papyri), but also provides historical perspectives on every aspect of …

Seven Textual Notes on Seven Against Thebes
The following notes concern textual problems in the prologue and parodos of Aeschylus’ Seven against Thebes . The text and apparatus criticus are based on those of M.L. West, Aeschylus: Tragoediae (Stuttgart and Leipzig, 1990; corrected edition, 1998)
On the Antagonism between Divine and Human Performer in Archaic Greek Poetics
Cooking Up Rhesus: Literary Imitation and Its Consumers
Orestes and Nothingness: Yiannis Ritsos’ “Orestes”, Greek Tragedy, and Existentialism
Theater Outside Athens: Drama in Greek Sicily and South Italy by Kathryn Bosher
BOOK REVIEWS/COMPTES RENDUS 165 d’une mise au point finale sur la question de l’opposition homme/femme qui reste, malgré le refus parfois un peu systématique de l’auteur, intimement associée à la question de la gestation masculine. Cela dit, il s’agit d’un ouvrage réellement novateur qui contribue à la compréhension du paysage conceptuel athénien et enrichit les lectures que l’on peut faire des textes convoqués. L’argumentation en est rigoureuse …
Making Sense of Ancient Performance
Performance criticism of Roman drama, both comic and tragic, is a recent development in classical scholarship. This chapter considers the subsequent chapters in Performance in Greek and Roman Theatre to appreciate their contribution to the understanding of ancient performance and its ramifications. The book opens with a section entitled “Opsis, Props, Scene”, which includes papers by Grigoris Sifakis and David Konstan. Comic opsis is an extremely…
Performance in Greek and Roman Theatre
In recent years, classicists have begun aggressively to explore the impact of performance on the ways in which Greek and Roman plays are constructed and appreciated, both in their original performance context and in reperformances down to the present day. While never losing sight of the playscripts, it is necessary to adopt a more inclusive point of view, one integrating insights from archaeology, art, history, performance theory, theatre semioti…
The Painful Memory of Woe: Greek tragedy and the Greek Civil War in the work of George Seferis
This article deals with some of the poems by George Seferis (1900–71) that deploy the ethos and/or language of Greek (especially Aeschylean) tragedy to mythologize the events of the Greek Civil War (1944–49). This mythologizing process both triggers and conditions the reader’s reaction: s/he is invited to interpret contemporary history through patterns of meaning that derive from the most monumental classical myths and tragic texts. At the same t…
Who Sings the Hoopoe's Song? Aristophanes, Birds 202–8
At Aristophanes, Birds 172ff., Peisetaerus persuades the Hoopoe that the birds would be better off building a city in the clouds. The Hoopoe announces that he will go off to summon the other birds to an assembly, so that the proposal may be approved. ‘How will you summon them?’, asks Peisetaerus. ‘That's easy’, replies the Hoopoe: ΕΠΟΨ δɛυρὶ γὰρ ἐμβὰς αὐτίκα μάλ' ɛἰς τὴν λόχμην, ἔπɛιτ' ἀνɛγɛίρας τὴν ἐμὴν ἀηδόνα, καλοῦμɛν αὐτούς· οἱ δὲ νῷν τοῦ φθέ…
A Commentary on the Rhesus Attributed to Euripides
"Rhesus, a tragedy traditionally (but wrongly) attributed to Euripides, has been the object of too little scholarly attention over the last decades. While debate has focused largely on the question of the play's authenticity, consequently overlooking the features of the play itself, this important new commentary explores the essential elements such as language, style, character-portrayal, and metre. The play's stagecraft and plot-construction are…
The Thracian Cult of Rhesus and the Heros Equitans
A survey of the available evidence for the Thracian cult of Rhesus, mainly on the basis of the pseudo-Euripidean Rhesus and of Philostratus’ Heroicus, shows that the identification of Rhesus with the so-called Heros Equitans, or “Thracian Horseman” (first proposed almost a century ago by G. Seure) rests on firmer ground than is sometimes assumed. The paper also reviews significant portions of the pictorial and epigraphic evidence for the Heros Eq…
Rhesus: Myth And Iconography
The Trojan cycle includes a small number of exceptionally valiant warriors, notably Penthesileia, Memnon, and Eurypylus, who exemplify a distinct narrative pattern: they join the war at a late stage, they perform ἀριστeῖα, and they invariably die in action. Rhesus complies with pattern qua late comer and, reputedly, a formidable warrior; but he is otherwise a special case in that he gets killed in his sleep without ever having an opportunity to s…
