About this product
Product Information
This book describes Athenian attempts to cope with the contradictions in the character of Theseus and discusses Theseus in tragedy in the context of fifth-century Athenian culture. Every nation needs role models: the Athenians were no exception. Handsome, brave, intelligent, and just, Theseus seemed the perfect Athenian but under this exterior lay a heartless seducer, rapist, and killer of his own son.

Reviews
'This new contribution to the Oxford Classical Monograph series offers with striking diligence and finely woven argumentation, numerous exegeses of passages from Greek tragedies which characterize Theseus ... The unusual thing about this book is its refreshingly wide scope for atheme-orientated topic ... Mills' readable prose and abundant but individually concise footnotes prove that she is as conversant with vase painting as with Cleisthenes' reforms.'Carolyn C Breen, Classical World 92.6 (1999), "The unusual thing about this book is its refreshingly wide scope for a theme-oriented topic....Mills' readable prose and abundant but individually concise footnotes prove that she is as conversant with vase painting as with Cleisthenes' reforms."-- Classical World, 'The work achieves a high professional standard, with appropriate documentation and sensible, balanced judgments throughout. M. well combines the scattered and difficult evidence for myth, literature, and art with other reflections of history, politics, and ideology over a long period ... reliable and accesible discussions. ... M's command of primary sources is good ... M. citesan impressive array of secondary sources ... selective and analytical.'John Gilbert, Bryn Mawr Classical Review Vol 9 no 8 (1998)'The discussion is nicely balanced throughout: oversimplification is avoided and overly subtle interpretations are challenged... the notion that our hero was an 'ambivalent figure' with a 'darker side' is politely dismissed as 'somewhat overstated'. Theseus thus emerges as a straightforward and clean-cut kind of national hero: a caped crusader, one might say, in the mould of Superman, not Batman.'Hans Van Wees, The Classical Review Vol. XLIX No.2'This new contribution to the Oxford Classical Monograph series offers with striking diligence and finely woven argumentation, numerous exegeses of passages from Greek tragedies which characterize Theseus ...
