Though the Septem has been the focus of much scholarly attention in recent decades, this powerful drama remains difficult for modern readers, presenting great problems of text and interpretation. The text of this major edition differs substantially from other current versions and the commentary draws on literature, art, and inscriptions to illuminate the work and its details by placing them in the context of Greek culture and society, and by showing how conventions are used, modified and distorted. Particular attention is given to style and language, to dramatic and literary structures and...

Women of Trachis
ISBN: 9780195070095 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mutability; uncertainty; a universe of precipitous change: these themes are at the heart of Sophocles' tragic vision. But nowhere are they elaborated with more urgency than in Women of Trachis. There are no subtle shifts of Fortune's favors in this tragedy, only stunning and total reversals, a relentless spinning of her fickle wheel. Thesis moves to crushing antithesis with an unparalleled violence at the moment of transformation.
Thought to have been written about 440 BC, midway through the poet's career, Women of Trachis has long suffered from neglect by scholars despite its...

Exits and Entrances in Menander
ISBN: 9780198147237 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most studies of Menander's comedies concentrate on the playwright's talent for characterization and plot construction while ignoring his artful use of theatrical conventions to create live theater. This book, based on close readings of the surviving texts, is the first to examine systematically the techniques of stagecraft--particularly stage movement--employed by the playwright in his effort to work successfully within theatrical limits.

Euripides and the Poetics of Sorrow : Art, Gender, and Commemoration in Alcestis, Hippolytus, and Hecuba
ISBN: 9780822313601 / Angielski / Twarda / 313 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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 common themes of violence, death, lamentation and mourning, and by their implicit definitions of male and female roles. Segal shows how these plays draw on ancient traditions of poetic and ritual commemoration, particularly epic song, and at the same time refashion these... Where is the pleasure in tragedy?

Athenian tragedy offerd the world dynamic, powerful and moving female characters', but how far did the women portrayed on stage mirror those of real life?
