El teatro griego. La tragedia. Antología de Antígona, Edipo rey y Medea.

It is not easy to compress in a few words the essence of the conflicts of Oedipus, Antigone or Medea: the tremendous and ineluctable destiny from which the Theban king cannot escape and the tearing of his pain in the face of the truth that he ignored; the overwhelming brilliance of his daughter, Antigone, in challenging immoral laws that do not respect the most sacred, the burial of our dead; the fire that consumes Medea in the face of the betrayal and disloyalty of those who meanly break a pact. Of its transcendence, of the value that men have given over the centuries to the words of Sophocles and Euripides, the infinite times that they have resonated on stages around the world bear witness. The selection presented here, enriched with questions that guide reading and comprehension, allows students of Greek, Classical Culture or Universal Literature to be brought closer to the joy and confusion that humans have not stopped experiencing in our contact. with these works.
