In this work, published here as a single volume, the authors                  present a disturbing and decidedly non-classical reading of Greek tragedy that                  insists on its radical discontinuity with our own outlook and with our social,                  aesthetic, and psychological categories. Originally published in French in two                  volumes, this new single-volume edition includes revised essays from volume one and                  is the first English translation of both volumes.Pierre Vidal-Naquet is Director of                  Studies and Professor of Sociology at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in Paris.
