Sinossi
Excerpt from Athens, Its Rise and Fall, Vol. 2: With Views of the Literature, Philosophy, and Social Life of the Athenian People
The choruses themselves were improved in their professional art by Thespis. He invented dances, which for centuries retained their popularity on the stage, and is said to have given histrionic disguise to his reciter at first, by the application of pigments to the face; and afterward, by the construction of a rude linen mask.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the Athenian political drama, particularly within the context of the Persian Wars, a pivotal moment in the history of both Athens and Greece. The author provides a rich analysis of the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, arguing that these works were not only a form of entertainment but also a powerful tool for exploring the moral and political issues of the day. The book delves into the ways in which these playwrights used their art to reflect on the nature of power, the role of the individual in society, and the challenges of living in a time of war and upheaval. Ultimately, the author shows how the Athenian political drama was a mirror to the society that produced it, offering insights into the hopes, fears, and aspirations of the Athenian people during one of the most important periods in their history.
