Entering The Agon
A study of the changing representations of debate, or agon, across and within classical Greek epic, historiography, and tragedy. Elton T. E. Barker shows the importance of debate to these key genres and also the role of literature in the construction of a citizen body through the exploration, reproduction and management of dissent from authority.
