Episode 60: Sophocles

David Grubbs moderates a conversation with Michial Farmer and Nathan Gilmour about Greek tragedy as a genre and specifically about Sophocles, the most-read artist in the genre. Along the way we focus on the broad range of readings that Sophocles has inspired, all the way from Aristotle to Freud. Among the texts, writers, and ideas we discuss are Oedipus Rex, Antigone, Aristotle's Poetics, Freud's Interpretation of Dreams, Bonhoeffer, and Martin Luther King Jr.
