The Conflation of Wedding and Funeral Rituals in Greek Tragedy

Autori

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The intertwining of weddings and death is a pivotal theme in Greek tragedies, as explored through the experiences of female characters like Kassandra, Antigone, and Helen. These figures engage with wedding and funeral rites in complex ways, leading to a blurring of the lines between the two ceremonies. Rush Rehm examines how this conflation is portrayed in the works of Aeschylus, Sophokles, and Euripides, providing insight into the significance of women's rituals in ancient Athenian society and the dramatic challenges faced by audiences.
