  Open Access•Charles Segal•ARTICLE•Princeton University Press eBooks•2020•Citada por: 14

  Incluir item

  This study of the role of kleos, heroic fame, in the Odyssey attempts to relate the anomalies in Odysseus' heroism to the poem's self-consciousness about the epic singer and his song. This hero wins by guile rather than force, conceals rather than proclaims his name, and in describing his own deeds as past events already fixed as heroic tradition sings of his own kleos, like a bard. His narration to the Phaeacians, his meeting with the Cyclops, a…

  Among the changes of perspective that the last two or three dec ades have seen in the study of classical culture has been a greater awareness of underlying social and personal tensions and of the vari ous strategies, at all levels of the culture, to evade, mask, or some times reconcile these tensions. Structuralist and psychoanalytic crit icism are valuable tools in laying bare these tensions and the mecha nisms that serve to deny, understand, or…

• The Tragedy of the Hippolytus

  Open Access•Charles Segal•CHAPTER•Interpreting Greek Tragedy•2019

  Incluir item

  The clash of human will and divine power is basic to the tragic sense of Greek drama. Not only may the gods serve to set the tragic action into motion, but they may themselves embody its meaning. As this meaning usually involves some of the most complex and difficult issues of human life, so the nature of the gods and their mode of acting upon the human world are, often puzzling, fu ll of real or apparent contradictions or hard, painful truths.

  Over the past two or three decades, students of Greek tragedy have shown an increasing concern with conceptual patterns, with struc tures of thought, action, and language. A greater circumspection about the nature of character in ancient drama has lessened the ten dency to view the plays in terms of psychological realism. Earlier in the century the Cambridge School of Harrison, Murray, and Corn fo rd stimulated interest in the social and ritual s…

  Like other Sophoclean heroes, Antigone stands in an ambiguous relation to civilized values. Creon’s discriminatory cleansing ritual and his attempt to declare himself “pure” of the pollution of Antigone’s death become in effect a source of infection. Antigone, however, struggles to restore the primordial unity of that “one womb” in the face of the double-striking blow which has divided the two brothers in their civic status even as it unites them…

  Oedipus, the former ruler of Thebes, has died. Now, when his young daughter Antigone defies her uncle, Kreon, the new ruler, because he has prohibited the burial of her dead brother, she and he enact a primal conflict between young and old, woman and man, individual and ruler, family and state, courageous and self-sacrificing reverence for the gods of the earth and perhaps self-serving allegiance to the gods of the sky. Echoing through western cu…

  One of the special charms of the Odyssey, according to Charles Segal, is the way it transports readers to fascinating places. Yet despite the appeal of its narrative, the Odyssey is fully understood only when its style, design, and mythical patterns are taken into account as well. Bringing a new richness to interpretation of this epic, Segal looks closely at key forms of social and personal organization which Odysseus encounters in his voyages. S…

  Where is the pleasure in tragedy? This question, how suffering and sorrow become the stuff of aesthetic delight, is at the center of Charles Segal's new book, which collects and expands his recent explorations of Euripides' art. Alcestis, Hippolytus , and Hecuba , the three early plays interpreted here, are linked by themes of violence, death, lamentation and mourning, and by their implicit definitions of male and female roles. Segal shows how th…

  In a fresh interpretation of Lucretius's On the Nature of Things, Charles Segal reveals this great poetical account of Epicurean philosophy as an important and profound document for the history of Western attitudes toward death. He shows that this poem, aimed at promoting spiritual tranquillity, confronts two anxieties about death not addressed in Epicurus's abstract treatment--the fear of the process of dying and the fear of nothingness.

  Le mariage et le sacrifice constituent le champ où les deux protagonistes des Trachiniennes. Héraclès et Déjanire, doivent marquer les limites qui défendent la vie civilisée contre la sauvagerie, la violence, le désordre bestial. Mais l'ironie tragique de la pièce crée un renversement des éléments opposés. Héraclès, vainqueur des bêtes, est vaincu par l'homme-bête, Nessos ; au cours de son sacrifice corrompu, au Cap Kénaeon, il devient lui-même v…

  Language is among the most mysterious of man's attributes. Its power not only to communicate truths about reality, but also to compel assent in the face of reality has often appeared miraculous, magical, and also dangerous. The marvel that mere words could impel men to the most momentous actions, and the admiration or fear that this fact inspires, are recurrent themes in classical literature. To express and understand this power Greek myth early …
