THE BOYS: A GREEK TRAGEDY FOR THE MODERN AGE

When Amazon decided to bring the graphic novel THE BOYS to the small screen, who knew that we would be witnessing the birth of the modern Greek Tragedy? In The Boys we experience a world where mere mortals are awed by and at the mercy of corporate gods. Zeus, Hera, Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares, Apollo, Artemis and a host of others... If the corporate gods are indeed a pantheon what composite of gods and/or monsters do they represent? Achilles, Sisyphus, Orestes, Agamemnon, or Odysseus; who do our rag-tag troupe of "Boys" represent? Dust off your Greek Tragedies syllabus and join us to discuss this Greek tragedy for the Modern Age.
