Note publique d'information : The book studies the past of the characters in Aeschylus and Sophocles, a neglected
but crucial topic. The characters beliefs, values, and emotionsbear on their view
of the past. This view reinforces their beliefs and their conception of themselves
and others as agentsof free will and members of a family and/or community. The study
reveals that, although the characters´ idea of the past is fixed, the impact of the
past is not. The characters consider, review, and construct narratives of it, as they
seek to mould a future they perceive as morally just for themselves and others.Poulheria
