Description

Explore the impact of disease on Western literature with Encounters with the Plague in Homer, Sophocles, and Thucydides. Published by Oxford University Press as part of the Classics in Theory Series, this study examines three of the earliest and most influential accounts of plague visitations. The text analyzes specific passages including Homer's Iliad book 1, Sophocles' Oedipus the King, and Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War book 2. It investigates how a destructive force within a story acts as a creative force for narrative formation. This work looks at how these accounts interact with readers and spectators to ensure the dissemination of these historical and literary narratives.
