After fending off Persia in the fifth century BCE, Athens assumed a leadership position in the Aegean world. Through readings of Eumenides, Children of Heracles, and Oedipus at Colonus, the author argues that Athenian tragedy performed an ideological function by representing Athens as a ruler that treated foreign suppliants compassionately.
