Where is the pleasure in tragedy ? This question, how suffering and sorrow become the stuff of aesthetic delight, is at the center of Charles Segal's new book, which collects and expands his recent explorations of Euripides' art.
"Alcestis, Hippolytus," and "Hecuba," the three early plays interpreted here, are linked by common themes of violence, death, lamentation and mourning, and by their implicit definitions of male and female roles. Segal shows how these plays draw on ancient traditions of poetic and ritual commemoration, particularly epic song, and at the same time refashion these traditions into new forms. In place of the epic muse of martial glory, Euripides, Segal argues, evokes a muse of sorrows who transforms the suffering of individuals into a "common grief for all the citizens," a community of shared feeling in the theater. In this way the playwright extends the Homeric paradox of "joy in lamentation" to new areas and gives it a new intensity.
Like his predecessors in tragedy, Euripides believes death, more than any other event, exposes the deepest truth of human nature. Segal examines the revealing final moments in "Alcestis, Hippolytus," and "Hecuba," and discusses the playwright's use of these deaths -especially those of women- to question traditional values and the familiar definitions of male heroism. Focusing on gender, the affective dimension of tragedy, and ritual mourning and commemoration, Segal develops and extends his earlier work on Greek drama. He considers genre, poetics, mythical patterns, male and female space, conceptions of law and the gods, and the relation between public and private life. The result deepens our understanding of Euripides' art and of tragedy itself.
