Description

In this book, Roger Travis brings together poetics and psychology to study the tragic chorus in Sophocles Oedipus at Colonus. Beginning from Quintilians definition of allegory as extended metaphor, Travis argues that in Oedipus at Colonus the chorus of old men forms an allegorical relationship with the aged Oedipus, which depends in turn upon the choruss own likeness to the Athenian audience. The play relates Oedipus allegorically to the audience through the tragic chorus and transforms Oedipus relation to the body of his mother Jocasta into a new relation to the land of Attica. Corresponding readings of Aeschylus Suppliants and Euripides Bacchea further explore the choruss role in expressing the relation of the individual to the maternal body. Employing a flexible combination of Lacanian and object-relations psychoanalytic theory, Travis investigates the tragic texts conception of the problems of human existence. The introduction provides a useful survey of the advantages and disadvantages of various psychological approaches to tragedy, making this an important volume for students and scholars alike.
