Bog beskrivelse
Pollution is ubiquitous in Greek tragedy: matricidal Orestes seeks purification at Apollo''s shrine in Delphi; carrion from Polyneices'' unburied corpse fills the altars of Thebes; delirious Phaedra suffers from a ''pollution of the mind''. This book undertakes the first detailed analysis of the important role which pollution and its counterparts - purity and purification - play in tragedy. It argues that pollution is central in the negotiation of tragic crises, fulfilling a diverse array of functions by virtue of its qualities and associations, from making sense of adversity to configuring civic identity in the encounter of self and other. While primarily a literary study providing close readings of several key plays, the book also provides important new perspectives on pollution. It will appeal to a broad range of scholars and students not only in classics and literary studies, but also in the study of religions and anthropology.
