• Athenian tragedy as democratic discourse

  Peter Burian•CHAPTER•Why Athens?•2011

  Incluir item

  This chapter looks at Athenian drama (tragedy, of course, but briefly comedy as well) not as the proponent of specifically democratic and/or anti-democratic ideologies, but as a locus of debate about the merits of existing democratic ideology and practice, and a place to imagine what, for better or worse, democracy might yet become. Athenian theatre of the fifth century participates in democratic discourse through a use of dialogue and debate tha…

• Euripides Trojan Women

  Alan Shapiro, Euripides Euripides et al.•BOOK•Trojan women•2009

  Incluir item

  Among surviving Greek tragedies only Euripides’ Trojan Women shows us the extinction of a whole city, an entire people. Despite its grim theme, or more likely because of the centrality of that theme to the deepest fears of our own age, this is one of the relatively few Greek tragedies that regularly finds its way to the stage. Here the power of Euripides’ theatrical and moral imagination speaks clearly across the twenty-five centuries that separa…

  Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can properly recreate the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations series offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals. Under the general editorship of Peter Burian and Alan Shapiro, each volume includes a critical introduction, com…

  As a creative medium, ancient Greek tragedy has had an extraordinarily wide influence: many of the surviving plays are still part of the theatrical repertoire, and texts like Agamemnon, Antigone, and Medea have had a profound effect on Western culture. This Companion is not a conventional introductory textbook but an attempt, by seven distinguished scholars, to present the familiar corpus in the context of modern reading, criticism, and performan…

  This book is a guide to the poetics of the two Greek fountainheads of Western literary theory. Part I traces the development of Plato's great themes of inspiration and imitation but makes no attempt to reduce his disparate statements to a system. Part II demonstrates that Aristotle's Poetics embodies a powerful theory of literature that answers Plato's objections to poetry as an emotionally powerful, and therefore dangerous, communication of fals…

  6THE CENTRAL THEME is the transformation of Oedipus into a hero.' It is perhaps unfortunate that the subject of Sophocles' last play can be defined so concisely, for the definition has led to confusion. The suspicion that the long middle scenes of the play, Oedipus' encounters with Creon and Polynices, form a dramatic diversion unrelated to the central theme has been surprisingly widespread and persistent. Carl Robert long ago advanced the curiou…
