DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Illustrations of the Tragedies of Aeschylus and Sophocles, From the Greek, Latin, and English Poets: With an Introductory Essay Being sensible that the work which I now offer to the public is more confined in its objects than most publications connected with classical literature, and that though thus limited, its extent is likely to prove greater than the object in the eyes of many may appear to deserve, I think it desirable to say a few words in its defence, and to state some of the considerations which have induced me to hazard its reception by the classical reader. Having done this, I will offer a few remarks, which I have been led to make during the progress of the work: I prefer throwing these into the form of an Introduction, and so disposing of them at once, rather than scattering them at intervals throughout the work; so that the succeeding numbers may be - what they profess to be - collections of parallel passages. These remarks will chiefly have reference to two subjects. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this outstanding new book, Christian Meier examines the close relationship between drama and politics at the beginning of the great age of Greek tragedy, focusing on the works of Aeschylus. The author examines the political, social and even psychological problems of the inhabitants of fifth-century Athens, during a time of rapid change. Through the role of festivals and the role of the festival of Dionysus in particular, Meier moves on to the interpretation of Aeschylus' plays. He shows how the political statements of the mythical characters made sense of and even influenced the politics of the day. Finally, he discusses the work of Sophocles in counterpoint to the plays of Aeschylus. This book will be of interest to students and academics of history, particularly the history of the ancient world, as well as those studying literature and drama.
