The Cambridge Companion To Greek Tragedy

The twelve essays in this distinguished collection consider the importance of ancient Greek tragedy as a creative medium. The three main emphases are on tragedy as an institution in the civic life of ancient Greece; on critical interpretations of the texts; and on changing patterns of reception, adaption, and performance from antiquity to present.
