Zusammenfassung

While acknowledging the difficulty of separating poetry-especially in translation-from other aspects of language, Lattimore offers keen insight into plays by Aeschylus (The Suppliant Maidens, The Persians, The Seven against Thebes, Prometheus Bound), Sophocles (Ajax, Oedipus Tyrannus), and Euripides (Medea, Helen, The Bacchae).

The Poetry of Greek Tragedy Zusammenfassung

The Poetry of Greek Tragedy Richmond Lattimore

Is Sophocles the poet more important than Sophocles the moralist, Sophocles the student of character, or Sophocles the storyteller? In this acclaimed work, eminent classicist Richmond Lattimore examines the complex and varied ways in which Greek poetry contributes to Greek drama. While acknowledging the difficulty of separating poetry-especially in translation-from other aspects of language, Lattimore offers keen insight into plays by Aeschylus ( The Suppliant Maidens, The Persians, The Seven against Thebes, Prometheus Bound), Sophocles ( Ajax, Oedipus Tyrannus), and Euripides ( Medea, Helen, The Bacchae).

The Poetry of Greek Tragedy Bewertungen

Lattimore's treatment is skillfully adapted to the needs of a partly non-classical audience, and will suit a wide reading public... [His] thoughts on the plays are illuminating, and all are stated with a freshness and vigor which make a readable and stimulating book. Classical Review This is close, illuminating, deliberately modest criticism that lights up passage after passage of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Christian Science Monitor Despite the intervening 45 years these essays have something refreshing to offer-that is, an opportunity to read what an accomplished poet makes of Greek tragedies as poetry. -- James Robson Journal of Classics Teaching 2005
