Did Greek tragedy die along with Euripides? This accessible survey
demonstrates that this is far from being the case. In it, thirteen
eminent specialists offer, for the first time in English, broad
coverage of a little-studied but essential part of the history of
Greek tragedy. The book contains in-depth discussions of all
available textual evidence (including inscriptions and papyri), but
also provides historical perspectives on every aspect of the
post-fifth-century history of tragedy. Oft-neglected plays, such as
Rhesus, Alexandra, and Exagoge (the only surviving Biblical
tragedy), are studied alongside such topics as the expansion of
Greek tragedy beyond Athens, theatre performance, music and dance,
society and politics, as well as the reception of Greek tragedy in
the Second Sophistic and in Late Antiquity, and the importance of
ancient scholarship in the transmission of Greek tragic texts.
