  • Death Of Socrates King Of Thebes
    1,217 words
    What is the relation of the state to the individual? Should obedience be paid to the will of the state, or to the justice with which it conflicts? If loyalty is required, is it conditional; necessary only part of the time? And, given that the state and the individual will inevitably disagree on some issues, who suffers in the end? Through their writings, Plato and Sophocles outline two sides of this issue. In Euthyphro, The Apology, and Crito Plato expresses a view of the state as flawed but nec...

  • Oedipus Rex Tragic Hero
    361 words
    While both Sophocles and Euripides are considered writers of Greek tragedy, their plays (Antigone, Oedipus Rex, Medea) have some subtle and some profound differences. In both Antigone and Oedipus Rex, the tragic heroes suffer from a major character flaw- hubris. The tragic hero of Medea does not appear to have such a contrived flaw, as she is not forced to suffer from her actions in the play (killing her children, etc. ). Because Euripides made little mention of the forces of divinity as they ef...

  • Themes Are Shown Individuals Role In Society Influence
    1,005 words
    An individuals role in society can vary with the number themes the characters exhibit. When there are signs of fate, cruelties, weaknesses, and desires for justice and catharsis the role of an individual becomes more complicated.

However in The Lottery the society has most of the control and there is not many signs of those characteristics so the role of a perso...

  • Father In Law Golden Fleece

    Greek audiences would have known the story of the ill-fated marriage between Jason, hero of the Golden Fleece, and Medea, barbarian witch and princess of Colchis.

  • Marry His Mother King Of Thebes
    1,410 words
    Many Greek myths and legends have a valuable point or lesson which is revealed when told. Each individual who hears it obtains a different meaning from what the author tries to throw out to the audience or reader. In Oedipus Rex, one part of The Oedipus Cycle by Sophocles, there is a lesson of allowing life to take its course instead of steering it to your own advantage or trying to prevent it from coming true as Oedipus and parents have attempted to do so. The Gods have predicted what shall hap...

  • Epic Of Gilgamesh One Of The Most Important

This idea is very apparent throughout classical literature. Rarely was aroma seen doing anything but being dominated by males in some form, whether...

  • Lay Dying Impending Doom
    1,679 words
    In the works, Oedipus and As I Lay Dying, we can look at the many themes that tie both of these pieces of literature together. We could look at the theme of how there needs to be a balance when dealing with difficult situations; there can t be different extremes that inhibit dealing with the problem. For example, Darl, in As I Lay Dying, seems to be in everyone s business, while Cash seems to remain mostly in the background. Jewel is in the middle, maintaining the balance. To the people with the...

  • Moment Of Freedom Words
    624 words
    Much of what has been written on slavery in Euripides has to do with the captive women taken in the Trojan War. But even ordinary household slaves like Medea's Nurse may betray characteristics of the free which the free themselves do not possess (N. T. Croally, Euripidean Polemic, Cambridge, 1994: 102 - 3) and in this way cast some light on the status of their masters and what the slave / free definition means in the play and in a wider context. In the Nurses opening speech the slaves voice is h...

  • Characters In The Play Past Events
    569 words
    As you have learned, Greek drama evolved from the ritualistic performances of a chorus at the Dionysian festivals. After the actor Thespis stepped out of the chorus and began a dialogue with it, other characters soon followed, and the chorus role gradually diminished in size (from fifty members to fifteen) and importance. Playwrights kept the chorus as a significant element in their dramas, but its functions were necessarily more limited. Robinson Jeffers, who translated Medea, has also retained...

Irony is one of the prevailing ...
