ESSAY ON: Greek Perception of Fate/Responsibility

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: A 6 page essay that argues that while in Greek tragedy, fate and prophecy play pivotal roles in all the plays, the ancient Greek playwrights did not simply portray people as being puppets manipulated by the gods towards meeting a horrendous end. Rather, these ancient writers pictured individuals as being active in creating the situations that lead to their ultimate doom. In supporting this argument, the writer draws on Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, The Bacchae by Euripides, and the Oresteia by Aeschylus. No additional sources cited.
