Ruby Blondell (University of Washington)

Helping Friends and Harming Enemies

A Study in Sophocles and Greek Ethics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sophocles is often considered the least philosophical of the three great Greek tragedians. By analysing a fundamental principle of Greek popular ethics, this study challenged that presumption, and remains of vital interest to students, scholars and non-specialists interested in Greek culture and drama.
