Synopsis

In this influential study, Nietzsche argues that the greatness of Greek tragedy arose from a fusion of contrasting forces: Apollonian restraint and control set against Dionysian passion and the irrational. The result is a distinctive account of how these elements combine to shape tragic art.

British classicist F. M. Cornford described it as “a work of profound imaginative insight, which left the scholarship of a generation toiling in the rear”.
