The Genesis of Tragedy and the Sacred Drama of Eleusis is a book written by Edouard Schure that explores the origins of tragedy in ancient Greece and the significance of the Eleusinian Mysteries in the development of Greek culture. The book delves into the myths and rituals surrounding the cult of Demeter and Persephone and their influence on the creation of Greek tragedy. It also examines the role of Dionysus in the evolution of Greek drama and the importance of the sacred drama of Eleusis in the spiritual and cultural life of the ancient Greeks. Schure provides a detailed analysis of the various elements of Greek tragedy, including the chorus, the actors, and the themes of fate and free will. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Greek drama and the cultural and spiritual significance of the Eleusinian Mysteries.1936.
