Tragic Pathos: Pity and Fear in Greek Philosophy and Tragedy
Munteanu, Dana LaCourse (Ohio State University)
In modern times philosophers and neuropsychologists have explored the nature of the emotions aroused by literature; but ancient Greek thinkers had already developed their unique assessments of the tragic emotions. This analysis of pity and fear within fifth-century tragedies provides insights into the ethical and social implications of the emotions.
