"Affects in Tragedy" (Text in German)
The author presents surprising new insights into the structure of two representative works of the Greek tragicians Sophocles and Aeschylus: "King Oidipus" and "The Oresteia". They are based on Aristotle's Poetics and linked via the cathartic and pleasureful effect of compassion and fear.
