via a chain of interdisciplinary experiences this ebook argues that the Athenians themselves invented the suggestion of 'classical' tragedy quite a few generations after the city's defeat within the Peloponnesian warfare. within the 3rd sector of the fourth century BC, and in particular through the 'Lycurgan period' (338–322 BC), a couple of measures have been taken in Athens to verify to the Greek international that the fulfillment of tragedy was once owed to the original personality of town. by way of rhetoric, structure, inscriptions, statues, documents or even laws, the 'classical' tragedians (Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides) and their performs got here to be offered as either the goods and important embodiments of an idealised Athenian earlier. This examine marks the 1st account of Athens' invention of its personal theatrical background and sheds new gentle upon the interplay among the city's literary and political history.
