Veterans’ Voices: Ajax in America
A staged reading of Sophocles’ Ajax
Date: Thursday, November 12, 2015
时间:晚上7-9点.m.
Location: Gannett Auditorium
A town-hall style meeting and reception in the Class of 1967 Lobby will follow
Veterans’ Voices is a local group of armed forces vets interested in how ancient literature
can elucidate the trauma of warfare. On November 12, the group will perform excerpts
from Sophocles’ quintessential war tragedy, Ajax.
The play tells the story of the dishonored soldier, Ajax, cheated of his due in the
Trojan War and humiliated before his wife and fellow soldiers. 他的自杀仍然存在
one of the most shocking acts ever dramatized on the 希腊 stage, and one that resonates
with an equally shocking statistic: each day, on average, 22 American veterans choose
结束他们的生命.
The members of Veterans’ Voices hope to engage the audience in a broad conversation
about the human cost of war from antiquity to modernity, and to raise awareness of
the challenges our veterans face when they return home from war—as well as the challenges
faced by their families, caregivers, and communities. Please join us for this extraordinary
事件.
