Reaching Athens: Community, Democracy and Other Mythologies in Adaptations of Greek Tragedy - New Comparative Criticism
Margherita Laera
This book analyses discourses around community, democracy, origin and Western identity in stage adaptations of Greek tragedy. It addresses the ways in which theatre produces and perpetuates the myth of 'classical' Greece as the origin of Europe and how this narrative raises issues concerning the possibility of a transnational European community.
