Description
This textbook is endorsed by OCR and supports the specification for AS and A-Level Classical Civilisation (first teaching September 2017). It guides students to a greater understanding of the key issues in Greek Theatre and Imperial Image.
The book explores the festival context in which tragedies and comedies were performed, and analyses three plays: Oedipus the King by Sophocles, Bacchae by Euripides and Frogs by Aristophanes. It also examines the self-presentation of Rome's most dynamic emperor, who claimed to have found Rome 'a city of bricks, but left it a city of marble'.
With its clear and accessible narrative, this book is ideal for students preparing for their final examinations. It includes study questions, quotations from contemporary scholars, further reading, and boxes focusing on key people, events and terms, as well as practice questions and exam guidance.
