Book, Myth and tragedy in Ancient Greece[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Myth and tragedy, what exactly do we understand by this?' The answer to this question can be found in Myth and Tragedy in Ancient Greece, which brings together studies by Jean-Pierre Vernant and Pierre Vidal-Naquet in this edition of Editora Perspectiva. According to the authors, tragedies are not myths, their heroes are linked to historical and mythical tradition, but the solution of the drama reflects the collective values ​​of the democratic city and no longer the solitary hero. In this sense, the present work constitutes one of the most valuable achievements of erudite archeology and critical analysis, which exposes the foundations of classical tragediography to the Brazilian reader.
