Rövid leírás:
Many modern readers believe that in his dramas Euripides was questioning the existence of the gods. In Euripides and the Gods, eminent classicist Mary K. Lefkowitz argues that instead of seeking to undermine ancient religion, Euripides is describing with a brutal realism what the gods are like, reminding his mortal audience of the limitations of human understanding.

Modern readers find it hard to come to terms with the gods in Euripides' dramas. Readers try to dismiss them as a literary convention. Stage productions leave them out, especially in the cases when they appear ex machina. Instead, they place disproportionate emphasis on the harsh criticisms of the gods uttered by some of the characters in the dramas, and have sought to interpret Euripides ironically, viewing his portrayal of the cruel and capricious gods as a means of drawing attention to the deficiencies of ancient Greek religion. In their view Euripides' dramas seek to question the nature and sometimes even the very existence of traditional Greek gods.
In Euripides and the Gods, classicist Mary Lefkowitz sets out to show that the tragedian is not undermining ancient religion, but rather describing with a brutal realism what the gods are like, impressing upon his mortal audience the limitations of human understanding. Writing the first extended treatment of these issues for a general audience, Lefkowitz provides a book that deals with all of Euripides' dramas, and argues for a more tolerant and nuanced understanding of ancient Greek religion. Euripides, like Homer, is making a statement about the nature of the world and human life, terrifying but accurate. She explains how the idea that Euripides was an atheist derives from ancient biographies that drew their evidence from comic poets, and shows why the doubts about the gods expressed by his characters must be understood in their dramatic context. Euripides and the Gods offers a compelling invitation to return to the dramatic masterpieces of Euripides with fresh eyes.
Aimed at the general reader, but useful for more advanced students and professional scholars, too, the book includes summaries of many of the plays, including quotations in literal English translation with some Greek terms transliterated. Accessible, readable, and thought-provoking, it deserves a place on the bookshelves of schools, colleges and universities as well as of anyone interested in Greek drama, culture and religion. Highly recommended.
