Reviews

'This book in particular has to be read by everyone with an interest in fifth-century Athens, let alone those involved in Greek drama.' Greece and Rome 'This is a powerful thesis.... ... It is extremely welcome to have a German historian of Meier's calibre not only re-emphasising the crucial need to recognise historical change in our study of tragedy, but also demonstrating the importance of tragedy itself to any fully integrated historical analysis of fifth-century Athens.' Journal of Hellenic Studies
