He shows how Sophoclean tragedy reflects the human condition in its constant and tragic struggle for order and civilized life against the ever-present threat of savagery and chaotic violence, both within society and within the individual. For this edition Segal also provides a new preface discussing recent developments in the study of Sophocles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46896958898327,"sku":"9780806131368","price":3665.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780806131368.webp?v=1770360559","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/tragedy-and-civilization-9780806131368","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
