Ethics and Hubris in Sophocles’ Ancient Drama
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the fact that Sophocles created a reality in his dramas which also addressed issues of the day in terms of how the individual interacts and relates with the collective or the community of which they are a member and to which they must often acquiesce. In his stories of both “Antigone” and “Oedipus Rex,” Sophocles establishes a realm in which the audience cannot help but sympathize with the character who is faced with a dilemma for which they have no experience and no frame of reference. Plato also presented such dilemmas for consideration but did so through the philosophical rather than dramatic aspects of the tension between individual and community Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Euripides and the Greek View of Tragedy
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that examines two plays by Euripides, "The Bacchae" and "The Women of Troy." The writer argues that the Greeks expressed a finely tuned sense of humanity's place in the cosmos. By overstepping those boundaries, indulging in too much pride, or disregarding the subservience owed to the gods, one could easily encounter a tragic fate. When both of these plays are examined within this framework, they support the idea that the Greeks held this worldview toward the topic of tragedy. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Euripides/The Character of Iphigenia
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that discusses the characterization of Iphigenia in Euripides' plays Iphigenia at Aulis and Iphigenia at Tauris. In these plays, Euripides shows Iphigenia to be a woman of extraordinary wisdom, discernment and courage. While highlighting these qualities, Euripides also humanizes his characterization of Iphigenia by showing that she also experiences rage against the unfairness of her fate. Examination of how her character develops over the course of these two plays points toward Euripides' most fundamental concepts in regards to Greek religion and adherence to duty to the state.

Evaluation of Gordon’s “Death in the Venetian Quarter: A Medieval Mystery” in Regards to its Historical Context and Connection to the Crusades
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page analysis of Gordon’s “Death in the Venetian Quarter: A Medieval Mystery” and additional comments on its historical context. Alan Gordon’s “Death in the Venetian Quarter: A Medieval Mystery” (2002) successfully combines elements of fact and fiction when unraveling a mystery during the end of the Fourth Crusade in 1203 in Constantinople. The historical accuracies of the novel are general in a broad sense with some variations as to the relationship of the Emperor and his family but overall the historical context only adds to the excitement of the work. A unique aspect of the work is his use of Feste the Fool as the central character. In Gordon’s version of history, court fools are part of an elite intellectual society which because of their positions are able to overhear conversations, due to the fact that most of the population disregard them, and makes them privy to information which prove helpful in their investigations. Once the reader accepts this premise, which has already been introduced by Gordon in two previous novels, the book becomes enjoyable in regards to the historical descriptions of the city and in Feste’s solving of the murder of Bastiani the silk merchant. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
