GRK 224 The Female Other in Athenian Tragedy 6 credits
Athenian tragedy offers a space for reflection on the female condition in moments of crisis. Mistreated, neglected, exiled, displaced, immigrant, and war-victim, female figures populate the fifth-century tragic stage offering a commentary on the construction of the identity of the Other and its treatment within Athenian society and beyond. In this course, we will read selections of tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in their original language and cultural context, while tracking issues that women still have to confront today in an effort to decode the positionalities of the female Other in fifth-century Athens and the modern Western world.
