DESCRIPTION:“Tragedy is not only an art form: it is also a social institu
 tion that the City\, by establishing competitions in tragedies\, set up al
 ongside its political and legal institutions. The City established\, in th
 e same urban space and with the same norms as its popular assemblies and c
 ourts\, a spectacle open to all citizens\, directed\, acted and judged by 
 members of the various tribes.\n\nAlthough tragedy\, more than any other g
 enre of literature\, appears rooted in social reality\, it does not reflec
 t that reality\, but calls it into question. By depicting it rent and divi
 ded against itself\, it turns it into a problem. The drama brings to the s
 tage an ancient heroic legend\, a past sufficiently distant for the contra
 sts between the mythical traditions it embodies\, and the new forms of leg
 al and political thought\, to be clearly visible\; a past still close enou
 gh that this clash is still taking place. Tragedy is born when myth starts
  to be considered from the point of view of the citizen. Not only the worl
 d of myth dissolves in this focus\; the world of the city is also called i
 nto question\, and its fundamental values are challenged. The questions ar
 e posed\, but tragic consciousness can find no fully satisfactory answers 
 to them\, so they remain open.” Jean-Pierre Vernant\, Myth and Tragedy i
 n Ancient Greece (1990) \n\nBOOKS\n\nWe will read and discuss the seven su
 rviving plays of Aeschylus. Note that the first play should be read before
