商品簡介
Allan (Classics, Harvard U.) argues that the play is not merely a mechanical and dull panegyric of Athens, as most critics charge, but in fact a dynamic and effective tragedy. In addition to an English translation facing pages of the original Greek, he places the play in its historical context, and shows how it addressed the interests and dilemmas of its original fifth-century BC Athenian audience.
