Diogenes van Sinope verruilde zijn huis voor een eenvoudige kruik. Hij had niets nodig om gelukkig te zijn. Zelfs zijn drinkbeker gooide hij weg. Sindsdien dronk hij als een hond, wat hem de bijnaam kunikos (hond) opleverde. Zijn volgelingen staan bekend als ‘cynici’, oftewel hondachtigen. Hun wijsheid is overgeleverd in de vorm van anekdotes en bewaard gebleven aforismen. Dit boek bevat de meest complete verzameling teksten tot nu toe.De cynici laten zien dat het streven naar geld, bezit, positie en macht alleen maar stoort bij de zoektocht naar geluk. Het is beter om dat streven los te laten en dus niet meer mee te doen met de massa. Je sobere levenswijze zal de burgerlijke types dan wellicht provoceren, maar dat is niet erg. Provocaties wijzen ook hen de weg naar een beter leven.

Cecil Wooten has produced the first translation into any modern language of a key treatise of the ancient world. He provides a faithful English translation of Hermogenes' analysis based on a reliable Greek text established by Rabe at the beginning of this century and includes a substantial scholarly introduction and notes that will help the reader better understand Hermogenes, his exposition, and the historical and cultural context in which it was produced.

This book provides an accessible introduction for students and anyone interested in increasing their enjoyment of Greek tragic plays. Whether readers are studying Greek culture, performing a Greek tragedy, or simply interested in reading a Greek play, this book will help them to understand and enjoy this challenging and rewarding genre. An Introduction to Greek Tragedy provides background information, helps readers appreciate, enjoy and engage with the plays themselves, and gives them an idea of the important questions in current scholarship on tragedy. Ruth Scodel seeks to dispel misleading assumptions about tragedy, stressing how open the plays are to different interpretations and reactions. In addition to general background, the book also includes chapters on specific plays, both the most familiar titles and some lesser-known plays - Persians, Helen and Orestes - in order to convey the variety that the tragedies offer readers.
