Euripides and the Gods

ISBN: 9780199752058 出版年：2016 页码：321 Lefkowitz, Mary Oxford University Press

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.
