MICHELAKIS, P., Achilles in Greek Tragedy. Cambridge University Press, 2007. 236p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Classical Studies. This study examines how one of the most popular and glamorous figures of Greek mythology was imagined on the tragic stage of fifth-century Athens. Dr Michelakis argues that dramatists persistently appropriated Achilles to address concerns of their time, from heroism and education to individualism and gender. Whether an aristocrat, a dead warrior or a young man, the tragic Achilles serves as a receptacle for competing definitions of heroism, oscillating between presence and absence, the exceptional and the paradigmatic. Tragedy draws on Achilles to display and pit against one another contrasting views of the mythological self and of its rights and obligations, powers and limitations. The book considers the whole corpus of extant Greek tragedy, with particular attention paid to Aeschylus' Myrmidons and Euripides' Hecuba and Iphigenia at Aulis.

MICHELAKIS, P., Achilles in Greek Tragedy. Cambridge University Press, 2002. 236p. Hardbound with dust wrps. Series: Cambridge Classical Studies. 'The Iliadic Achilles is generally regarded as setting the pattern for all subsequent treatments of the hero, including the Achilles of Greek tragedy. In this monograph based on his Cambridge dissertation, Pantelis Michelakis stakes out a different approach: he examines 'the dramatists' search to redefine the Homeric model by focusing on mythological episodes and aspects of Achilles' personality which range beyond the spatial-temporal and conceptual boundaries of the 'Iliad'(p.187). (...) If Michelakis cannot entirely succeed in displacing the Homeric Achilles from his traditional preeminence, he has nonetheless produced a deft, insightful, rigorous and rewarding study which encourages readers to undertake their own reappraisal of what tragedy does and does not owe to Homer.'
