The Past in Aeschylus and Sophocles
Poulheria Kyriakou
The book studies the past of the characters in Aeschylus and Sophocles, a neglected but crucial topic. The characters´ beliefs, values, and emotions bear on their view of the past. This view reinforces their beliefs and their conception of themselves and others as agents of free will and members of a family and/or community. The study reveals that, although the characters´ idea of the past is fixed, the impact of the past is not. The characters consider, review, and construct narratives of it, as they seek to mould a future they perceive as morally just for themselves and others.
