It shows Hderlin's poetry is unique within Western literature (and art) as it retrieves the socio-politics of a Dionysiac space-time and language to challenge the estrangement of humans from nature and one other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, author Lucas Murrey presents a new picture of ancient Greece, noting that money emerged and rapidly developed there in the sixth century B.C. This act of monetization brought with it a concept of tragedy: money-tyrants struggling against the forces of earth and community who succumb to individual isolation, blindness and death. As Murrey points out, Hderlin (unconsciously) retrieves the battle between money, nature and community and creatively applies its lessons to our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Hderlin's poetry not only adapts tragedy to question the unlimited \"machine process\" of \"a clever race\" of money-tyrants. It also draws attention to Greece's warnings about the mortal danger of the eyes in myth, cult and theatre. This monograph thus introduces an urgently needed vision not only of Hderlin hymns, but also the relevance of disciplines as diverse as Literary Studies, Philosophy, Psychology (Psychoanalysis) as well as Religious and Visual (Media) Studies to our present predicament, where a dangerous visual culture, through its support of the unlimitedness of money, is harming our relation to nature and one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Here triumphs a temperament guided by ancient religion and that excavates, in Hderlin's translations, the central god Dionysus of Greek tragedy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e--Bernhard Bchenstein, author of \u003ci\u003e\"Frucht des Gewitters\".
