Abstract:
Tragedy is Man's heroic vision, signifying the triumph of intellect against the measures of the material [ύλη], against the defeat and death of the human body. Tragedy, through the Aristotelean περιπέτεια, άναγνώρισις and περιωοννίες, extols the morally autonomous individual who envies, endeavors, and reaches the divine and lays a mirror before human nature. Tragedy, the art of nostos, emanates from the alluring union between customs and rituals and it denotes the abrogation of the interval between divine and human. The ideological and political content of (ancient) drama is a spring of inspiration and moral speculation for the educator - theatre - pedagogue and the student at the time of crisis.
