Athenian tragedy of the fifth century BCE became an international
and a canonical genre with remarkable rapidity. It is, therefore, a
remarkable test case through which to explore how a genre becomes
privileged and what the cultural effects of its continuing
appropriation are. In this collection of essays by an international
group of distinguished scholars the particular point of reference
is the visual, that is, the myriad ways in which tragic texts are
(re)interpreted, (re)appropriated, and (re)visualized through
verbal and artistic description. Topics treated include the
interaction of comedy and dithyramb with tragedy; vase painting and
tragedy; representations of Dionysus, of Tragoedia, and of Nike;
Homer, Aeschylus, Philostratus, and Longus; choral lyric and ritual
performance, choral victories, and the staging of choruses on the
modern stage. The common focus of all the essays is an engagement
with and response to the unique scholarly voice of Froma Zeitlin.
