{"product_id":"the-agon-in-euripides-michael-lloyd-9780198147787","title":"The Agon in Euripides","description":"This book is a study of the \u003cem\u003eagon\u003c\/em\u003e, or formal debate, in Euripides' tragedies. In these scenes, two characters confront each other, often before an arbitrator or judge, and make long speeches as if they were opponents in a court of law. Most of Euripides' extant plays contain an agon, often of crucial importance to the central conflict of the play. Lloyd provides interpretations of the more important agones, giving special attention to their dramatic context and function. Concentrating on Euripides' rhetorical skill, brilliance in argument, and interest in philosophy, Lloyd explores the role of formal debate in Euripides. He contrasts the agon in Euripides' work with that of Sophocles, and discusses extensively Euripides' relationship to fifth-century rhetorical theory and practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Lloyd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198147783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198147787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.59w x 0.69d","brand":"Michael Lloyd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419008581887,"sku":"9780198147787","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c8414cfa-73d5-4378-90e8-f7b9ede0ba1f.jpg?v=1761508888","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-agon-in-euripides-michael-lloyd-9780198147787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
