Submitted by JtC on Fri, 07/05/2024 - 7:50amSometimes it feels like I'm witnessing a Greek Tragedy. One that even Sophocles may not have dreamed of.
Surely, the same human dynamics were at play in Sophocles' time as they are today, but if one wanted to pen a modern Greek Tragedy a seminal factor that would be beyond an ancient Greek's understanding would be, digital technology. That technology amplifies the modern stage exponentially, in which the ancient Greeks would have to invent a new vocabulary to explain the plight of the contemporary hoi polloi.
