Thanks to Charlie for passing along this article about Sophocles. Who knew a Greek playwright would gain an audience with veterans of modern war?
Soldiers who have witnessed the reading of "Ajax" reflected on their own experiences of losing friends in battle and struggling with the emotional challenges of war. Though Oedipus' struggle deals more with his identity and the role of fate, how might teenagers relate to the story of Oedipus?
A little food for thought this weekend. I'm anxious to hear your thoughts...
