GREEK DRAMA: Euripides
Classics 214 Section 1 (4 units)
MASTRONARDE, D J
The plays we will concentrate on in this seminar are Hippolytus and Alcestis, and, apart from other topics of the usual sort (rhetoric and agon, chorus, role of the gods, gender issues, etc.) we will be doing a group project examining the indirect testimony for the two plays, imagining what their "fragments" would have looked like if the full plays had not been transmitted in the medieval manuscripts and what could have been inferred about their contents. In connection with Hippolytus we will also be reading Seneca's Phaedra and Racine's Phedre.
