Euripides and the Boundaries of the Human presents the first single
volume reading in nearly fifty years of all of Euripides' surviving
plays. Rather than the piece meal examination of one or a handful
of dramas in monograph or article form, the book insists on the
thematic and stylistic parallels that unite a diverse canon of
works. Euripides is often referred to as the most modern of the
three Ancient Greek Tragedians, but in what way can the work of
this fifth century BC artist be claimed as modern? The multi
layered presentation of character is new within the context of
Athenian Tragedy. The plays reveal also equal concern with the
preservation and re-vitalization of tradition, especially with
respect to the portrayal of the Olympian gods. Euripidean drama
upholds tradition just as vigorously as it posits a new kind of
realism in character portrayal in the Ancient Theatre. Euripidean
drama fuses what was old with what was new in order to revitalize
and perpetuate the art of tragedy. This book will be of interest to
professionals and students in the fields of Classics, Greek Drama
in Translation or the original Greek, Theatre Studies, Comparative
Literature, Tragedy and Religion.
