In this book Professor Mastronarde draws on the seventeen surviving
tragedies of Euripides, as well as the fragmentary remains of his
lost plays, to explore key topics in the interpretation of the
plays. It investigates their relation to the Greek poetic tradition
and to the social and political structures of their original
setting, aiming both to be attentive to the great variety of the
corpus and to identify commonalities across it. In examining such
topics as genre, structural strategies, the chorus, the gods,
rhetoric, and the portrayal of women and men, this study highlights
the ways in which audience responses are manipulated through the
use of plot structures and the multiplicity of viewpoints
expressed. It argues that the dramas of Euripides, through their
dramatic technique, pose a strong challenge to simple formulations
of norms, to the reading of consistent human character, and to the
quest for certainty and closure.
