Understanding Greek Tragedy . CLASS 102

Greek tragedy was a dramatic phenomenon first performed in ancient Athens. It is obsessively concerned with desire, betrayal, and loss, and with civic and democratic values. This course studies the original contexts in which Greek tragedy was first seen -- religious, theatrical, military, political, and philosophical -- and the magnetic force it still holds for us today. Introduces students to some of the most important moments in the modern reception of Greek tragedy, in theory, politics, and drama.
