Publisher's Synopsis
The Attitude Of The Greek Tragedians Toward Nature is a book written by Henry Rushton Fairclough that explores the relationship between nature and the ancient Greek tragedians. The book examines how nature was depicted in the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, and how it was used to convey moral and ethical messages to the audience.Fairclough argues that the Greek tragedians saw nature as a powerful force that influenced human behavior and destiny. He explores how the natural world was used as a metaphor for human emotions and struggles, and how it was often portrayed as both beautiful and dangerous.The book also looks at how the Greek tragedians used nature to explore philosophical and theological ideas, such as the role of the gods in human affairs and the nature of fate and free will. Fairclough examines how these ideas were expressed through the use of natural imagery and symbolism.Overall, The Attitude Of The Greek Tragedians Toward Nature provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between nature and the ancient Greek tragedians. It offers insights into the ways in which nature was used to convey moral and philosophical messages, and how it played a significant role in shaping the themes and ideas of Greek tragedy.Thesis Accepted For The Degree Of Doctor Of Philosophy, John Hopkins University, May 1896.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
