Inventing the Barbarian: Greek Self-Definition through Tragedy - Oxford Classical Monographs
Hall, Edith (Lecturer, Department of Classics, Lecturer, Department of Classics, University of Reading)
The aim of this treatise is to explain the singular fascination ancient Greek tragedians felt for the non-Greek, "barbaric" world. It sets Greek drama against the historical background of the Panhellenic wars with Persia and the establishment of an Athenian empire based on democracy and slavery.
