GENDER AND POLITICS IN GREEK TRAGEDY - MICHAEL ...

Theatrical tragedy  like all other major civic institutions of the fifth-century B.C. Athenian
democratic patriarchy  was exclusively male. The course of western drama changed when women
characters (played by transvestite male performers) were introduced. Gender and Politics in
Greek Tragedy explores themes and issues of gender identity and political ideology in plays by
Aeschylus ( Suppliant Maidens   Oresteia )  Sophocles ( Antigone   Philoctetes )  and Euripides
( Alcestis   Medea   Orestes   Helen   Iphigeneia in Aulis   Bakkhai ). This is the first
book-length treatment of the themes of gender and politics in ancient Greek tragedy.
