Description

When Heroes Sing explores the significance of song in Sophoclean tragedy, revealing how it shapes the heroes' identities and influences the genre as a whole.

The study examines the role of lyric poetry in shaping the poetic voice of each hero, discussing its impact on their communities and the wider tradition of tragic drama.

This book offers new insights into the ways that Sophoclean tragedy inherits and refracts the traditions of other poetic genres, shedding light on the complex relationships between poetry, identity, and power in ancient Athens.
