Description

The Experience of Divine Anger in Greek Tragedy is a scholarly book authored by Elton M. Eenigenburg that explores the theme of divine anger in Greek tragedy. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of how the ancient Greeks perceived and experienced the wrath of the gods as portrayed in their theatrical productions. The author examines the various ways in which divine anger is represented in the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, and how it is linked to the broader themes of justice, fate, and human suffering.The book is divided into three main sections, each focusing on a different aspect of divine anger in Greek tragedy. The first section explores the concept of divine anger and its various manifestations in the plays. The second section examines how the characters in the plays respond to divine anger and how their actions are influenced by their beliefs about the gods. The final section looks at the role of divine anger in the overall structure and meaning of the plays.Throughout the book, the author draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient Greek literature and philosophy, modern scholarship, and his own analysis of the plays. He also provides detailed summaries and analyses of several key plays, including Aeschylus' Oresteia, Sophocles' Antigone, and Euripides' Bacchae.Overall, The Experience of Divine Anger in Greek Tragedy is a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient Greek literature and culture, as well as anyone interested in the enduring themes of justice, fate, and human suffering.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
