the language of dike itself. These three chapters on individual works are followed by a composite chapter on the Ajax, Trachiniae, Philoctetes, and Oedipus Coloneus. These briefer discussions have much familiar material from the standard discussions, and the rather brief bibliography allows the author to claim his argument to be more original than it is. It is particularly telling, however, that the Electra gets only a single remark, where Z. confesses that he does not understand its 'intimate focus and dramatic logic'. For the Electra raises some rather sharp questions for his sense of Sophoclean piety and theodicy; and it is a bizarre critical decision, granted his starting point in the Oresteia, to avoid the most obvious Sophoclean reading of Aeschylus. Finally, it must be marked that the few references to the Greek text do not inspire confidence, avopos, for example, is glossed '"without song"...or more literally "without law'". The major problems with the formulation of Z.'s questions and the practice of his reading will no doubt vitiate his project for many readers, especially those trained in classics or widely read in contemporary studies of tragedy. But it remains a pity that Z.'s passionate intellectual and emotional engagement with tragedy, his fine sense of the emphatic address of tragedy, could not be put to more telling use.
