Character and Characterization in Greek Tragedy
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Over the last three decades there has been a lively and controversial discussion –– mainly among anglophone scholars–– about the importance of character and characterization in Greek tragedy. Since it seems that a kind of communi opinio has been reached according to which character and characterization are of little, if any, importance for Greek tragedy, it may be the time to put together and review the arguments, which have been brought forward against a character-oriented interpretation.
