Today we will feast on Mediterranean fare: the Greek playwright Sophocles' tragedy
Antigone. Before we begin the main course (a delicious gyro), let's sample some appetizers (dolmas):
- Begin or finish J6 and/or J7 (Reno's class see Focus; Schwager's J7: Describe a dilemma you have faced in life.)
- Background on the Greeks and Sophocles here
- Possible discussion of the Festival of Dionysus
- Then begin the main course in World Lit Book (WLB 14)
- You may also read from this online edition (free, good, easy to read): http://records.viu.ca/~johnstoi/sophocles/antigone.htm#text1
- Antigone film clips
Enjoy the sweltering heat of the drama ; )
