Pietro Pucci is Goldwin Smith Professor of Classics Emeritus at Cornell University. He is the author of several books, including Odysseus Polutropos: Intertexual Readings in the "Odyssey" and the "Iliad", The Violence of Pity in Euripides’ "Medea", and Oedipus and the Fabrication of the Father: "Oedipus Tyrannus" in Modern Criticism and Philosophy.
"Like the revolutionary and resolutely demystifying Euripides he puts before the reader, Pietro Pucci has been a pioneer in bringing intertextual and deconstructive readings to the major Greek poets. And the Euripides depicted here, like his learned and humane critic, brings to bear an acute sensitivity to the artifice of language to produce a poetry that not only dispels illusions but also fortifies the reader."
- Andrew Ford, Ewing Professor of Greek Language and Literature, Princeton University,
"Reading these texts through Pietro Pucci's exacting and precise critical lens is an exhilarating experience that transforms our understanding of the nature of Euripides’s tragic theater."
- Phillip Mitsis, A. S. Onassis Professor, New York University,
