The Imagery of Euripides: A Study in the Dramatic Use of Pictorial LanguageAnalysis of Euripides’ use of language and of imagery in particular shows that his imaginative powers differ in kind, not just in quality, from those of Aeschylus and Sophocles, and that they serve a different purpose in the structure of the plays. Includes a new introduction and a foreword by Froma Zeitlin. MORE ABOUT THIS TITLE
Revenge in Athenian CultureRevenge was an all important part of the ancient Athenian mentality, intruding on all forms of life. Only the radical thoughts of Plato suggested that revenge was immoral and did not constitute justice.

Through a close examination of the texts, a more complex picture of how the Athenian people viewed revenge emerges. MORE ABOUT THIS TITLE
