“…In questo libro la tragedia greca viene letta come un inquieto laboratorio della coscienza civile – quindi anche giuridica e politica – dell’Occidente, ove l’intreccio fra mito e attualità del V secolo a.C. solleva questioni con cui ancora dobbiamo misurarci, come uomini e cittadini: dalla natura ambivalente del potere, sempre sul punto di degenerare in tirannide o di dar corpo all’incubo della guerra civile, alle irrisolte criticità della democrazia e dell’uso della parola – in grado di persuadere e conciliare, ma anche soverchiare e irretire – ; dal fondo cupo di violenza e terrore in cui talvolta si specchiano gli assetti istituzionali, alla ricerca di criteri che definiscano la responsabilità dell’individuo"--Contracubierta…”

“…There are many reasons to despair at the state of the world today: climate change and global warming; widespread 'humanitarian disasters' caused by war, famine and political corruption; religious intolerance and the growing influence of fundamentalist belief; political terrorism; racism and discrimination against ethnic minorities; the list could go on and on. …”

“…Here again, in the quest for responsibility on which value judgments are based, the choice of the king seems decisive: the fight against a still peaceful Revolution is at the origins of the chain of violence.
