| In
seventeen original essays, a distinguished international cast considers
the text, interpretation and cultural context of Greek tragedy. There
are detailed studies of single plays, of major themes in each of the
three tragedians, of modern approaches to tragic text and interpretation,
and of the genre's social, religious and political background. Some
of tragedy's most distinguished interpreters here present their latest
work, and pay tribute to the scholarly achievements of the volume's
honorand, Professor A.F. Garvie. The editors: DOUGLAS CAIRNS is Professor of Classics in the University of Edinburgh. His publications on Greek literature and thought include the monograph Aidos: The psychology and ethics of honour and shame in ancient Greek literature (OUP, 1993). He has edited Oxford Readings in Homer's Iliad (OUP, 2001), and Body Language in the Greek and Roman Worlds (Classical Press of Wales, 2005). VAYOS LIAPIS is associate professor of Greek at the Université de Montréal. His publications include a commentary on 'Menander's' Monostichoi and a monograph entitled The Unknown God: Limits of human knowledge in the Presocratics and in Oedipus Tyrannus.
