5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and insightful analysis of Greek Tragedy, 18 April 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Greek Tragedy: A Literary Study (Paperback)

Kitto has incredible insight into the meaning of Aeschylus', Sophocles' and Euripides' drama, which shows on every page of the book. Where other authors come to the drama with their own agendas, and then ignore or make excuses for anything in the plays which interferes with their "brilliant" analyses, Kitto develops analyses which address all important elements of virtually every extant play.
