Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges long-held assumptions about the origins of Greek tragedy. The author meticulously examines the historical and anthropological evidence to argue that the origins of tragedy lie not in the worship of Dionysus, but in the ancient veneration of the dead. He explores t…his theme by examining funeral rites and ceremonies from across the globe, from Greece to India, Burma, China and Japan. The author systematically deconstructs the long-standing "solar myth" theory and other popular explanations for ancient religious and dramatic practices. He unveils a complex web of beliefs and rituals surrounding the worship of ancestors and deceased heroes, ultimately arguing that these beliefs are the primary source of the tragic form. This book offers a fresh perspective on a foundational topic in classical literature, shedding light on the complex relationship between ritual, myth, and the development of dramatic art. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
