内容説明
This study examines primary texts such as the "Iliad" and "Cyropaedia" to set the viewing parameters of Athenian ideology, then considers how heroes like Oedipus and Iphigenia might "look like heroes" to their original audience. This "affective hero", unlike the structuralist hero, reflects the audience's self-image back onto itself and reveals surprising insights into culture.
