In Poetry and the Polis in Euripidean Tragedy, Jonah Radding contends that political issues addressed in Euripides's tragedies are inextricably related to his use of choral lyric genres such as paean and epinician, and to his engagement with canonical texts such as the Iliad and Aeschylus's Agamemnon. Poetry and politics each illuminate the other.
