Out of Athens. Ritual Performances, Spaces, and the Emergence of Tragedy

I wish to thank P. E. Easterling for her precious remarks on this paper.1 This synchronic perspective opens an altogether different line of inquiry from that of the 'origins and pre-history of drama' as undertaken by Csapo and Miller 2007.The present work sees tragedy as coterminous with other ritual performances, whilst also allowing to shed some light on the question of origins. 2 See Broggiato and Nicolai in this volume.On the history of tragedy in the ancient world see
