Inventing the Barbarian: Greek Self-Definition through Tragedy
Publication Year
"A groundbreaking study. Hall’s relentless probing of Greek tragedy to expose the ethnocentrism, stereotyping, and distorted images of non-Greeks in the plays fostered a wholesale shift in the reading of this genre and its undercurrents."
Recommended by Erich S. Gruen, Professor of History and Classics and author of Rethinking the Other in Antiquity.
