About This Book

Kirjoitus tarjoaa johdonmukaisen katsauksen kreikkalaisen tragedian syntyyn, rakenteeseen ja uskonnolliseen kytkeytymiseen, vertailee dithyrambi- ja satyyriteorioita sekä sankaripalvonnan merkitystä ja selittää kielen ja kooriperinteen vaikutuksen muotoon. Se kuvaa antiikin näyttämökäytäntöjä: koorin ja khoregon tehtävät, näyttelijäkokoonpanon rajoitukset, naamiot ja koturnit, ja tarkastelee runoilijan elämää sekä yksittäisten murhenäytelmien rakennetta ja teemoja, muun muassa Aias, Elektra, Trachilaisten naiset, Philoktetes, Antigone ja Oidipoksen tapaukset. Lisäksi teksti sisältää suomennoksia ja runollista aineistoa, jotka tukevat interpretatiivista analyysiä.
