In "An Oresteia," the classicist Anne Carson combines three different versions of the tragedy of the house of Atreus — A iskhylos’ "Agamemnon," Sophokles’ "Elektra "and Euripides’ "Orestes." After the murder of her daughter Iphigeneia by her husband, Agamemnon, Klytaimestra exacts a mother’s revenge, murdering Agamemnon and his mistress, Kassandra. Displeased with Klytaimestra’s actions, Apollo calls on her son, Orestes, to avenge his father’s death with the help of his sister Elektra. In the end, Orestes is driven mad by the Furies for his bloody betrayal of family. Condemned to death by the people of Argos, he and Elektra must justify their actions — or flout society, justice and the gods.
Carson’s translation combines contemporary language with the traditional structures and rhetoric of Greek tragedy, opening up this ancient tale of vengeance to a modern audience and revealing the essential wit and morbidity of the original plays.

Описание: The first three plays in this volume are typical of Euripides, filled with violence or its threat, while the fourth, Cyclops, is a satyr play, full of crude and slapstick humour. Alcestis shows various reactions to death with pathos and grim humour while the blood-soaked Heracles portrays deep emotional pain and undeserved suffering. Children of Heracles deals with the effects of war on refugees and the consequences of shelteringthem.

Описание: The four plays newly translated in this volume are among Euripides` most exciting works. Iphigenia among the Taurians is a story of escape and contrasting Greek and barbarian civilization, set on the Black Sea at the edge of the known world. Bacchae, a profound exploration of the human psyche, deals with the appalling consequences of resistance to Dionysus, god of wine and unfettered emotion. This tragedy, which above all others speaks to ourpost-Freudian era, is one of Euripides` two last surviving plays. The second, Iphigenia at Aulis, centres on the ultimate dysfunctional family as natural emotion is tested in the tragic crucible of the Greek expedition against Troy. Lastly, Rhesus, probably the work of another playwright, is a thrilling, action-packedIliad in miniature, dealing with a grisly event in the Trojan War.

Описание: Anne Carson writes, "Euripides was a playwright of the fifth century BC who reinvented Greek tragedy, setting it on a path that leads straight to reality TV. His plays broke all the rules, upended convention and outraged conservative critics. The Bakkhai is his most subversive play, telling the story of a man who cannot admit he would rather live in the skin of a woman, and a god who seems to combine all sexualities into a single ruinous demand for adoration. Dionysos is the god of intoxication. Once you fall under his influence, there is no telling where you will end up."
Автор: Isabelle Torrance Название: Euripides ISBN: 1848856679 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781848856677 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 68640.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Sophocles, Aeschylus and Euripides are often described as the greatest tragedians of the ancient world. Of these three pivotal founders of modern drama, Euripides is characterized as the interloper and the innovator: the man who put tragic verse into the mouths of slaves, women and the socially inferior in order to address vital social issues such as sex, class and gender relations. It is perhaps little wonder that his work should find such resonance in the modern day.
In this concise introduction, Isabelle Torrance engages with the thematic, cultural and scholarly difficulties that surround his plays to demonstrate why Euripides remains a figure of perennial relevance. Addressing here issues of social context, performance theory, fifth-century philosophy and religion, textual criticism and reception, the author presents an astute and attractively-written guide to the Euripidean corpus - from the widely read and celebrated Medea to the lesser-known and deeply ambiguous Alcestis.

Описание: Die bisherige altertumswissenschaftliche Rezeptionsforschung zu Euripides konzentrierte sich zumeist auf die Euripides-Rezeption in der griechischen Komцdie oder in der rцmischen Tragцdie. Eine eigene Beschдftigung mit der Euripides-Rezeption in Kaiserzeit und Spдtantike stellt bislang ein Desiderat dar. Euripides galt in dieser Zeit als Tragiker schlechthin und war der nach Homer am hдufigsten zitierte Dichter. Zumeist rezipiert ьber die Buchlektьre, war er Schulautor geworden und hatte insbesondere im Rhetorikunterricht der "Zweiten Sophistik" eine herausragende Stellung. In dieser Epoche konstituierte sich auch die uns bekannte Auswahl an Stьcken des Euripides.Der Band arbeitet in 20 Beitrдgen die griechischsprachige Rezeption der vollstдndig wie auch der fragmentarisch erhaltenen Tragцdien des Euripides in zentralen Autoren und literarischen Gattungen der Kaiserzeit und Spдtantike heraus und diskutiert sie im kultur- und literaturhistorischen Kontext der Zeit. So leistet der Band nicht nur einen Beitrag zur Erforschung der Wirkungsgeschichte des Euripides, sondern auch zu einem allgemeinen Verstдndnis der literarischen Kultur der Kaiserzeit und Spдtantike.
