Looking at ancient Greek tragedy in the context of late-20th-century reading, criticism and performance, seven distinguished scholars examine tragedy as an institution in the civic life of ancient Athens; a range of approaches to the surviving plays; and changing patterns of reception, adaptation, and performance, from antiquity to the present. 31 photos. The twelve essays in this distinguished collection consider the importance of ancient Greek tragedy as a creative medium. The three main emphases are on tragedy as an institution in the civic life of ancient Greece; on critical interpretations of the texts; and on changing patterns of reception, adaption, and performance from antiquity to present.
