Présentation de l'éditeur:

Athenian tragedy of the fifth century BCE became an international and acanonical genre with remarkable rapidity. It is, therefore, aremarkable test case through which to explore how a genre becomesprivileged and what the cultural effects of its continuingappropriation are. In this collection of essays by an internationalgroup of distinguished scholars the particular point of reference isthe visual, that is, the myriad ways in which tragic texts are(re)interpreted, (re)appropriated, and (re)visualized through verbaland artistic description. Topics treated include the interaction ofcomedy and dithyramb with tragedy; vase painting and tragedy;representations of Dionysus, of Tragoedia, and of Nike; Homer,Aeschylus, Philostratus, and Longus; choral lyric and ritualperformance, choral victories, and the staging of choruses on themodern stage. The common focus of all the essays is an engagement withand response to the unique scholarly voice of Froma Zeitlin.
