Περιγραφή για Electras : Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides Michael Davis St Augustine's Press 2023 Paperback

Michael Davis revisits questions of interpretation in Greek tragedy emerging in the thought of the late Seth Benardete. While this is not the book Benardete would have written, it wrestles with problems that bear his indelible mark. In the extant tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, only one story is treated by all three––the tale of Electra. Davis endeavors to develop Benardete\'s understanding of the story\'s deeper meaning, as well as the connections that might be drawn between the three authors. He follows a thread that brings Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides closer together according to a powerful and shared theme––namely, that the female is the deeper (even if less easily accessible and articulated) of the pair of fundamental principles constituting human beings. Davis accomplishes much more than an exegetical bridge as he connects us with ancient memory and wisdom. \"When we cannot resist the temptation to recoil morally from their terminology, we risk the tragedy of losing their profound thoughts about our humanity––their philosophical anthropology.\" Davis has remarkably made of a niche study a stunning source material for more universal questions. This is a book that is as timely as it is ageless. Έτος Έκδοσης: 2023, Διαστάσεις: 15.2x15.2cm
