Freedom and equal rigths of speech (parrhesia and isegoria), equality before the law (isonomia), observance of the laws and the institutions of democracy, resprect for human and political rights and social justice are the everlasting moral and social values that the texts of ancient Greek tragedy powerfully reveal. These principles, which shaped the concept of democracy, are the heritage of Greek antiquity to our modern world. The present volume contains articles in journals, collective volumes, and Conference Proceedings from 2000 to 2018, following "Dramatica. Studies in Classical and Post-Classical Dramatic Poetry" (Athens 2004, papers from 1979 to 2000).
