Description
Reconsidering the foundations of Greek tragedy, this work presents a provocative reinterpretation of ancient thought and literature. Originally published in two volumes, it is now available in a single English-language edition.
The authors, leaders in French classical scholarship, challenge conventional understandings of Greek drama, highlighting its radical discontinuity with modern perspectives on art, psychology, and society.
Translated into English for the first time, this new edition brings together revised essays from the original two-volume publication, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most enduring and influential aspects of ancient Greek culture.
