Euripides and the Poetics of Sorrow: Art, Gender, and Commemoration in Alcestis, Hippolytus, and Hecuba
Euripides and the Poetics of Sorrow: Art, Gender, and Commemoration in Alcestis, Hippolytus, and Hecuba
Where is the pleasure in tragedy? This question, how suffering and sorrow become the stuff of aesthetic delight, is at the center of Charles Segal's new book, which collects and expands his recent explorations of Euripides' art.
Alcestis, Hippolytus, and Hecuba, the three early plays interpreted here, are linked by common themes of violence, death, lamentation and mourning, and by their implicit definitions of male and female roles. Segal shows how these plays draw on ancient traditions of poetic and ritual commemoration, particularly epic song, and at the same time refashion these traditions into new forms. In place of the epic muse of martial glory, Euripides, Segal argues, evokes a muse of sorrows who transforms the suffering of individuals into a "common grief for all the citizens," a community of shared feeling in the theater.
Like his predecessors in tragedy, Euripides believes death, more than any other event, exposes the deepest truth of human nature. Segal examines the revealing final moments in Alcestis, Hippolytus, and Hecuba, and discusses the playwright's use of these deaths--especially those of women--to question traditional values and the familiar definitions of male heroism. Focusing on gender, the affective dimension of tragedy, and ritual mourning and commemoration, Segal develops and extends his earlier work on Greek drama. The result deepens our understanding of Euripides' art and of tragedy itself.

The Iliad (Everyman s Library Classics, #60)
The Iliad (Everyman s Library Classics, #60)
Eski Yunan edebiyatının iki büyük destanı İlyada ve Odysseia, Batı edebiyatının temel kaynakları arasında yer alır. Sözlü edebiyat geleneğinin ürünü olan bu yapıtların Egeli ozan Homeros'a ait olduğu kabul edilir.
16000 dizelik İlyada'da, Yunan Yarımadası'ndan gelen Akhalar ve Anadolu yakasındaki Troyalılar arasındaki savaş anlatılır. Ama sadece yıllarca süren Troya Savaşı'nın öyküsü anlatılmaz, aynı zamanda kahramanlık ideali tüm çelişkileriyle sorgulanır.
İlyada ve Odysseia'da mitologya ile gerçek yaşam, tanrılar dünyası ile insanlar dünyası doğal bir birliktelik içindedir. Yazgıları tanrılarca belirlenen insanlar, ölümlülükle ölümsüzlüğün başsız sonsuz çelişkisini yaşarlar. MÖ VI. yüzyılda yazıya aktarılan bu iki destan, sonradan bütün bie Batı edebiyatı geleneğinin ödünç alıp kullanacağı kahramanlar yaratmıştır.
İlyada ve Odysseia destanlarını, Eski Yunanaca asıllarından Azra Erhat'ın ve A. Kadir'le birlikte yaptığı emek, bilgi ve sabır ürünüğ usta işi çevirisiyle sunuyoruz.

The Poet s Voice: Essays on Poetics and Greek Literature
The Poet s Voice: Essays on Poetics and Greek Literature
"The object of this book," writes the author in his Preface, "is to investigate how poetry and the figure of the poet are represented, discussed, contested within the poetry of ancient Greece." Dr. Goldhill seeks to discover how ancient authors broached the questions: From what position does a poet speak? With what authority? With what debts to the past? With what involvement in the present? Through a series of interrelated essays on Homer, lyric poetry, Aristophanes, Theocritus and Apollonius of Rhodes, key aspects in the history of poetics are discussed: tale telling and the representation of man as the user of language; memorial and praise; parody, comedy and carnival; irony, masks and desire; the legacy of the past and the idea of influence. Detailed readings of major works of Greek literature show how richly rewarding and revealing this approach can be. The author makes liberal use of critical writings from areas of study other than Classics and focuses on problems central to contemporary critical debate. His book is uniquely placed to bring together modern and ancient poetics in a way that is enlightening for both. The work is written as much for the serious scholar of literary criticism as for the Classicist.
