Dickin (classical languages and ancient culture, McMaster U. and U. of Guelph) examines the evolution of the Tragic Messenger in Greek drama from minor character to lead role and the significance of the role itself. The book explores the nature of Messenger speeches that made the role so attractive and the distribution of roles in surviving fifth-century tragedies. It also examines the Messenger as represented on vase paintings of the period. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
