Conversations: Who's This "Sophocles" Everyone's Talking About? Sophoclean Tragedy w/ Dr. Amy Pistone
Sep 24, 2021•1 hr 27 min•Season 5Ep. 311
Episode description
Liv speaks with Amy Pistone Greek Tragedy, specifically: Sophocles and why he's every bit as good as Euripides, maybe... better? The plays referened are Sophocles' The Women of Trachis, Oedipus Tyrannos, Ajax, and Philoctetes and Euripides Medea, Bacchae, and Orestes.
CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
