Revenge in Attic and Later Tragedy

Beschreibung

After considering how our view of Elizabethan drama has obscured an accurate view of the ancient tragedies, this text reviews early Greek notions of vengeance as expressed in the "Odyssey", Heracles' tales, Pindar's odes, Attic judicial processes, and the legend of Harmodius and Aristogeiton.
