This Won't End Well: On Loving Greek Tragedy.

About the Substack

Greek tragedy is not a catalogue of sad tales about gods and heroes. They're complex stories of political and patriarchal oppression, generational trauma, knowledge won only through suffering, and the quest for identity and redemption.

About Elizabeth Bobrick

Long-time professor obsessed with Greek tragedy, I write about the ancient stories that are startlingly personal, political, and relevant to our time. I teach mythology by singing 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town.' More at elizabethbobrick.com.
