Euripides and the Boundaries of the Human presents the first single volume
reading in nearly fifty years of all of Euripides’ surviving plays. Rather than the piece meal examination of one or a handful of dramas in monograph or article form, the book insists on the
thematic and stylistic parallels that unite a diverse canon of works. Euripides is often referred to as the most modern of the three Ancient Greek Tragedians, but in what way can the work of
this fifth century BC artist be claimed as modern? The multi layered presentation of character is new within the context of Athenian Tragedy. The plays reveal also equal concern with the
preservation and re-vitalization of tradition, especially with respect to the portrayal of the Olympian gods. Euripidean drama upholds tradition just as vigorously as it posits a new kind of
realism in character portrayal in the Ancient Theatre. Euripidean drama fuses what was old with what was new in order to revitalize and perpetuate the art of tragedy.
This book will be of interest to professionals and students in the fields of Classics, Greek Drama in Translation or the
original Greek, Theatre Studies, Comparative Literature, Tragedy and Religion.
