Presenting an innovative new reading of Sophocles' plays, Tragic Rites analyses the poetic and narrative function of ritual in the seven extant plays of Sophocles. Adriana Brook closely examines four of them - Ajax, Electra, Philoctetes, and Oedipus at Colonus - in the context of her wide-ranging consideration of the entire Sophoclean corpus.
