{"product_id":"nothing-is-as-it-seems-1","title":"Nothing Is as It Seems","description":"In this valuable book, Hanna M. Roisman provides a uniquely comprehensive look at Euripides' \u003ci\u003eHippolytus\u003c\/i\u003e. Roisman begins with an examination of the ancient preference for the implicit style, and suggests a possible reading of Euripides' first treatment of the myth which would account for the Athenian audience's reservations about his \u003ci\u003eHippolytus Veiled\u003c\/i\u003e. She proceeds to analyze significant scenes in the play, including Hippolytus' prayer to Artemis, Phaedra's delirium, Phaedra's \"confession\" speech, and the interactions between Theseus and Hippolytus. Concluding with a discussion of the meaning of the tragic in \u003ci\u003eHippolytus\u003c\/i\u003e, Roisman questions the applicability in this case of the idea of the tragic flaw. \u003ci\u003eNothing Seems as It Is\u003c\/i\u003e includes extensive comparisons of Euripides' play with the \u003ci\u003ePhaedra\u003c\/i\u003e of Seneca. This is a very important book for students and scholars of Greek tragedy, literature, and rhetoric.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255957147992,"sku":"9780847690930","price":62.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780847690930.jpg?v=1777273262","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/nothing-is-as-it-seems-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
