The latest volume in the Classical World series, this book offers a
much-needed up-to-date introduction to Greek tragedy, and covers
the most important thematic topics studied at school or university
level. After a brief analysis of the genre and main figures, it
focuses on the broader questions of what defines tragedy, what its
particular preoccupations are, and what makes these texts so widely
studied and performed more than 2,000 years after they were
written. As such, the book will be of interest to students taking
broad courses on Greek tragedy, while also being suitable for the
general reader who wants an overview of the subject. All passages
of tragedy discussed are translated by the author and supplementary
information includes a chronology of all the surviving tragedies, a
glossary, and guidance on further reading.
