The characters' beliefs, values, and emotionsbear on their view of the past. This view reinforces their beliefs and their conception of themselves and others as agentsof free will and members of a family and/or community. The study reveals that, although the characters' idea of the past is fixed, the impact of the past is not. The characters consider, review, and construct narratives of it, as they seek to mould a future they perceive as morally just for themselves and others.Trends in classics.Supplementary volumes ;v. 11.Characters and characteristics in literatureElectronic books.Characters and characteristics in literature.882/.01Kyriakou Poulheria476551MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461458503321Past in Aeschylus and Sophocles244611UNINA
