Description:From chapter IIf scientists ever invent a time machine which can transport us back through history, one of the most interesting targets for our time capsule will be a theatre performance in Athens in the fifth century B.C. -the original home of Greek drama, in the period when all the tragedies now extant were first published. In that event, much of what has been written on the Greek theatre may be proved wrong -including, no doubt, a great deal of what is said in this book. But in the meantime, how far can we go towards making such a visit by scrutinizing the surviving evidence and by an effort of the historical imagination? We can read the extant plays, but howfar can we place them in their original historical setting? How much can we recapture of th total experience of which the texts we now possess once formed a part?This, in its simplest terms, is the problem with which this book attempts to deal, though for questions of space it is limited to tragedy only.ContentsFigures and platesPreface1.
