Description
Edizione: first easton collector's edition. <br> sophocles has been called the father of modern theatre and the homer of tragedy. “according to aristotle in the poetics, sophocles was an innovator in tragedy: he added a third to the previously accepted two actors, introduced ‘scene painting’, and increased the chorus from twelve to fifteen; he also abandoned the aeschylean practice of writing trilogies on related events instead giving each play a self-contained plot.his characters were admired by aristotle for being ‘like ourselves only nobler’; his heroes and heroines are placed in circumstances in which they must act, and by their actions, which often have tragic consequences, they show their heroic stature. for aristotle, oedipus rex represented greek tragedy at its greatest.” - howatson.
