Reading Greek Tragedy

Rating:
Summary: Tempering the One Critique on this Page
Review: Admittedly, I have not read this book, but I have read a number of Goldhill's essays on Greek tragedy, published in a variety of journals and collections. Goldhill is a fine scholar. He is certainly not the most readable, but few classicists are. While I cannot guarantee that this book is excellent or easy, I find it improbable (in the extreme) that it is wholly poor, certainly not to the extent that the reviewer above implies.

Rating:
Summary: The only Greek tragedy is Goldhill's lack of talent.
Review: An abomination - that is, literally, an offence against God. And I am an atheist. So awful that one must create a deity in order to match its evil.

Never, ever buy this book - you will be supporting a despicable, talentless and depraved individual in his sordid and contemptible quests.
