In the Theatre of Dionysos: Democracy and Tragedy in Ancient Athens
Richard C. Sewell
Ancient Athens was unique in its politics, extraordinary in its religion and fanatic about its poetry. This book describes the parallel lives of Athenian democracy and Athenian tragedy - how and why they concurrently arose, blossomed and died, shaped especially by a fatal Athenian penchant for war.
