Summary:
"With readings of thirteen plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, including the Oedipus cycle, the Oresteia, Medea, and Bacchae; an eclectic synthesis of Freud, Lacan, Derrida, Zizek, Deleuze, and other critical theorists; and an engagement with art, architecture, and film, this book locates Greek tragedy's aesthetic allure beyond catharsis"-- Provided by publisher.
