Dear Mantovano organization:
A number of students in my International Baccalaureate English
literature and composition class here in India are writing
comparison/contrast essays (called "World Literature Assignment
#1 " in the syllabus) on the subject of Dionysian elements of
Sophocles' Theban plays and Virgil's AENEID (the Dryden
translation). They are somewhat influenced by "The Birth of
Tragedy From Music," which I had them read along with OEDIPUS
THE KING and OEDIPUS AT COLONUS. Any suggestions
regarding the elements of the comparisons or contrasts between
the works.
Thank you very much for any help that may be offered. I am fairly
well read in many Western literatures (but only French in the
original language), but am not a classicist, and would welcome any
suggestions that might benefit my students in this international
school in whose high school I teach.
Cordially,
Bruce Lewis
