Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Diverse Important CollectionBy DanThis is a traditional "collection of essays" as opposed to an ordered and sustained argument. As such. I find it invaluable. Indeed. there are multiple essays on Oedipus Tyrannus that everyone should read. I was particularly taken by his analysis of the Chorus. His (loosely) psychoanalytic reading of lament in Antigone is also. I think. something every scholar must at least be aware of. And he even tackles Lacan in what I found to be an unusually dense text for Segal. The subject itself is quite abstract. and as far as applying it to classical studies goes. I think Segal makes sense of Lacan without appropriating him.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Segal is uniquely uniqueBy C. E. FranklinI am a scholar of Ancient Greek Tragedy and as such an expert I can say that Charles Segal has the most unique opinon of Oedipus in particular. although his book covers various Sophoclean heroes. that I have come across in recent years. This text is fresh. and suprisingly clear and easy to understand. He leaves no rock unturned. no theory unaddressed. If you are looking on a guide to Oedipus. Antigone. Ajax. or Trachinian Women. you have come to the right place. Buy this book. its good.
