Resumen de Vidal-Naquet sobre Vernant; Vernant i Vidal-Naquet
A survey of Vidal-Naquet's "Mémoires" highlights the intellectual and personal bond between him and Vernant. For both of them, political engagement and Classical studies were inseparably linked, accounting for a particular view of ancient Greece that stands at the base of their anthropological approach to Greek culture. Their common interest on tragedy (as shown by the two voumes of "Mythe et tragédie en Grèce ancienne") provides a focus to examine the shared perspectives and the subtle differences in their respective approaches.
