Performing Oaths in Classical Greek Drama
Fletcher, Judith (Wilfrid Laurier University, Ontario)
This book demonstrates how oaths influence dramatic plots by compelling characters to behave in certain ways, how perjured oaths activate curses and how women use oaths to gain control of men. The theoretical approach to language, gender and agency will appeal to all scholars interested in Greek drama.
