What is the nature of theatre's uneasy alliance with literature? Should theatre be viewed as a preliterate, ritualistic phenomenon that can only be compromised by writing? Or should theatre be grouped with other literary arts as essentially'textual,'with even physical performance subsumed under the aegis of textuality? Jennifer Wise, a theatre historian and drama theorist who is also an actor, director, and designer, responds with a challenging and convincing reconstruction of the historical context from which Western theatre first emerged. Wise believes that a comparison of the performance style of oral epic with that of drama as it emerged in sixth-century Greece shows the extent to which theatre was influenced by literate activities relatively new to the ancient world. These activities, foreign to Homer yet familiar to Aeschylus and his contemporaries, included the use of the alphabet, the teaching of texts in schools, the public inscription of laws, the sending and receiving of letters, the exchange of city coinage, and the making of lists. Having changed the way cultural material was processed and transmitted, the technology of writing also led to innovations in the way stories were told, and Wise contends that theatre was the result. However, the art of drama appeared in ancient Greece not only as a beneficiary of literacy but also in defiance of any tendency to see textuality as an end in itself.

This book explores the possibility that Friedrich Nietzsche simulated his madness as a form of voluntary death, and thus that his madness functioned as the symbolic culmination of his philosophy. The book weaves together scholarly, mytho-poetic, literary critical, biographical, and dramatic genres not only to explore specifics of Nietzsches madness, but to question the reason/madness opposition in nineteenth and twentieth century thinking. A rational and scholarly study of this period of Nietzsches breakdownpresented through his writings, letters, and poetry in combination with relevant historical documents and other critics writingsis simultaneously disrupted and questioned by several non-traditional discourses or voices that break in on it. Thus, Ariadnes voice frames and unframes the research context and plays alongside it. Ariadnes voice is poetic, revelatory, rhapsodic, and prophetic, sounding much like Nietzsches own voice during his breakdown. Ariadnes discourse attempts to seduce through a non-rational, mytho-poetic love story which culminates in the wedding of Dionysus and Ariadne. Other non-rational discourses, critically developed and based upon the work of Nietzsche, Jean Baudrillard, and Gilles Deleuze, are given voice and work together with Ariadne to counter the usual interpretations of Nietzsches madness and of what mad discourse is. These discourses are given the names catastrophe, phantasm, and seduction. The experiment of the book is not only to offer an entirely different perspective on Nietzches madness but to offer and perform new and challenging forms of affirmative discourse.

These critically diverse and innovative essays are aimed at restoring the social context of ancient Greek drama. Theatrical productions, which included music and dancing, were civic events in honor of the god Dionysos and were attended by a politically stratified community, whose delegates handled all details from the seating arrangements to the qualifications of choral competitors. The growing complexity of these performances may have provoked the Athenian saying "nothing to do with Dionysos" implying that theater had lost its exclusive focus on its patron. This collection considers how individual plays and groups of dramas pertained to the concerns of the body politic and how these issues were presented in the convention of the stage and as centerpieces of civic ceremonies. The contributors, in addition to the editors, include Simon Goldhill, Jeffrey Henderson, David Konstan, Franois Lissarrague, Oddone Longo, Nicole Loraux, Josiah Ober, Ruth Padel, James Redfield, Niall W. Slater, Barry Strauss, and Jesper Svenbro.

"Dionysus Dithyrambs" is a collection of poems that celebrate the Dionysian aspect of life. The Dithyramb is an ancient Greek choral hymn dedicated to the god Dionysus, and Nietzsche uses this form to express his philosophical ideas in a lyrical manner. This Dionysian-Apollonian dichotomy is central to his theories on Aesthetics. This collection of poems is philosophy cloaked in the mantle of poetic expression, often intertwining his thoughts with the mythic persona of Zarathustra- a figure he pours all of his concepts of the ideal man into. The dithyrambs are characterized by their rhythmic intensity and vibrancy, reflecting the chaotic nature of raw Dionysian art. Nietzsche uses poetic language to dissect themes of truth, wisdom, and existence as he navigates the stormy seas of philosophical thought. Nietzsche emphasizes the role of all forms of art- Music, theater and poetry, as critical to dulling the pain of material existence. These poems are deeply influenced by the figure of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, ecstasy, and creative chaos, embodying Nietzsche's ideals of life affirmation, artistic creativity, and the transcendence of conventional morality. The dithyrambs, traditionally a form of ancient Greek hymn sung in honor of Dionysus, are reimagined by Nietzsche to express his vision of a liberated, Dionysian spirit that revels in the dynamic and often tumultuous nature of existence. Dionysus Dithyrambs was published posthumously by his estate in 1891. The text was first published in 1891 as part of "Nietzsche's Works, Volume I" by C.G. Naumann in Leipzig, Germany. The collection was edited by Nietzsche's sister, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, who was instrumental in curating and publishing his remaining manuscripts and notes after his death in 1900. This new 2024 translation from the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works. This translation is designed to allow the armchair philosopher to engage deeply with Nietzsche's works without having to be a full-time Academic. The language is modern and clean, with simplified sentence structures and diction to make Nietzsche's complex language and arguments as accessible as possible. This Reader's Edition also contains extra material that amplifies the manuscript with autobiographical, historical and linguistic context. This provides the reader a holistic view of this very enigmatic philosopher as both an introduction and an exploration of Nietzsche's works; from his general understanding of his philosophic project to an exploration of the depths of his metaphysics and unique contributions. This edition contains: • An Afterword by the Translator on the history, impact and intellectual legacy of Nietzsche • Translation notes on the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript • An index of Philosophical concepts used by Nietzsche with a focus on Existentialism and Phenomenology • A chronological list of Nietzsche's entire body of works • A detailed timeline of Nietzsche's life and works

Winner of the Translation Prize for non-fiction from the French-American Foundation. Son of a mortal king and an immortal Muse, Orpheus possessed a gift for music unmatched among humans; with his lyre he could turn the course of rivers, drown the fatal song of the Sirens, and charm the denizens of the underworld. The allure of his music speaks through the myths and stories of the Greeks and Romans, who tell of his mysterious compositions, with lyrics that only the initiated could understand after undergoing secret rites. Where readers of subsequent centuries have been content to understand these mysteries as the stuff of obfuscation or mere folderol, Marcel Detienne finds in the writing of Orpheus a key to the thinking of the ancient Greeks. A profound understanding of ancient Greek myth in its cultural contexts allows Detienne to recover a cultural system from fragments and ephemera—to reproduce, with sensitivity to variation and nuance, the full richness of the mythological repertoire flowing from the writing of Orpheus. His investigation moves from the Orphic writings to broader mysteries: how Greek gods became myths, how myths informed later religious thinking, and how myths have come into play in polemics between competing religions. An eloquent answer to some of the most vexing questions about the myth of Orpheus and its far-reaching ramifications through time and culture, Detienne's work ultimately offers a major rethinking of Greek mythology.

Born in 1844, Friedrich Nietzsche died in Weimar on 25 August 1900. Arguably the most important philosopher of the 19th century, his earliest reputation was as much for his poetry as for his philosophical writings. He began writing poetry as a boy and continued, in a wide range of styles, throughout his life. In its completed form, Dithyrambs of Dionysus' was his last book. The nine poems of this cycle were composed during 1883-8 and assembled for publication shortly before his breakdown in 1889. They represent the ultimate visionary poetic style which he developed in the years after Thus Spake Zarathustra' and form a coda to his life's work. RJ Hollingdale has translated eleven of Nietzsche's books and works by, among others, Schopenhauer, Goethe, ETA Hoffman and Theodor Fontane. Among his recent publications are a revised version of Nietzsche: The Man and His Philosophy' and a new edition of Lichtenberg's Waste-Books'.

How did the visual, the oral, and the written interrelate in antiquity? The essays in this collection address the competing and complementary roles of visual media, forms of memory, oral performance, and literacy and popular culture in the ancient Mediterranean world. Incorporating both customary and innovative perspectives, the essays advance the frontiers of our understanding of the nature of ancient texts as regards audibility and performance, the vital importance of the visual in the comprehension of texts, and basic concepts of communication, particularly the need to account for disjunctive and non-reciprocal social relations in communication. Thus the contributions show how the investigation of the interface of the oral and written, across the spectrum of seeing, hearing, and writing, generates new concepts of media and mediation.
