The Tangled Ways of Zeus : And Other Studies In and Around Greek Tragedy Hardback

Hardback

Out of stock

Description

The Tangled Ways of Zeus is a collection of studies written over the last twenty years by the distinguished classicist Alan Sommerstein about various aspects of ancient Greek tragedy (and, in some cases, other related genres).

It complements his recent collection of studies in Greek comedy, Talking about Laughter (OUP, 2009).

Some of the essays have not been published previously, others have appeared in books or journals hard to find outside major academic libraries.

Each chapter deals with its own topic, but between them they build up a multifaceted picture of the dramatists (especially Aeschylus and Sophocles), the genre, and its interactions with the society, culture, and religion of classical Athens.
