  • Amid our troubles

    Marianne Mcdonald, J Michael Walton et al.BOOKAmid our troubles2002

    New essays on ancient Greek classics from Ireland's greatest living dramatists and academics That so many Irish playwrights should return to the Greek classics can not really be a surprise.

Poison et remède, création et destruction, l'ivresse, née à la fois du vin et du théâtre, est dans Les Bacchantes le lieu qui préside au passage à la reconnaissance tragique. L'ambiguïté de Dionysos, à la fois deinotatos « le très puissant » et epiotatos « le très doux », est celle même de la vérité : la connaissance ne peut naître qu…
