This is a fascinating book. Dr. Kouretas studies the characters of the heroes and heroines of the ancient Greek dramas both descriptively and dynamically.
Dr. Kouretas was formerly professor of psychiatry in the University of Salonika, is associate professor of the University of Athens and a psychoanalyst. He studies the characters of Prometheus, Io, Cassandra and Orestes in the dramas of Aeschylus; Ajax in the drama of Sophocles; and Orestes, Cassandra, Heracles, Pentheus and Medea in the dramas of Euripides. Included also are analytic studies of Shakespeare's Hamlet and Lear, of the nature of the dream according to Plato and Freud, and an analytic study of Io and Prometheus by Marie Bonaparte.
