Greek Drama: Tragedy and Comedy

This not actually a book, but rather a recorded series of 14 lectures on Greek Drama. Meineck delves into major themes of and the social and political context of several of the most notable Greek tragedies and comedies. Primary attention is given to Aeschylus' Oresteia (Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, The Furies), Sophocles' Oedipus plays, Euripides' The Bacchae, and Aristophanes' Clouds.
