  • CLASSICS 108: Greek Tragedy

    3.00 Credits
    Hobart William Smith Colleges

    This course is a reading in English translation of selected plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides-the earliest examples of one of the most pervasive genres of Western literature. Each play is considered both in its own right and in relation to larger issues, such as the tragic treatment of myth, relevance to contemporary Athenian problems, and the understanding of the world that these plays might be said to imply. Through attention to matters of production, an attempt is made to imagine the effect of the plays in performance in the Athenian theatre. The course considers, in addition, possible definitions of tragedy, with the aid both of other writers' views and of experiences of the texts themselves. (Offered every four years)
