Unravel the timeless paradox of enjoying tragedy, from its origins in ancient Homeric poetry to its complex philosophical exploration by Plato.

Essential for university students and scholars of philosophy, classics, and aesthetics, this book offers profound insights into the psychology of art and the enduring appeal of painful emotions.
