Inhaltsangabe
Before the hero goes mad, the city is already sick.
Wolfish Rage I: The City Is Sick opens the Living Myths: Tragic Cycles series by returning to Euripides’ Herakles at the moment before catastrophe.
The hero is absent. Power has been seized by a foreign tyrant. Old men remember past victories, children sense approaching death, and the city of Thebes decays under faction, fear, and betrayal. Violence has not yet erupted—but its logic already governs everything.
This volume reads tragedy not as distant literature, but as a living political structure. Madness does not begin in the mind of the hero; it begins in the city that forgets why the hero mattered. When civic memory collapses, when loyalty becomes liability, and when fear replaces reciprocity, tragedy becomes inevitable.
Written for adult readers of myth, political theory, and history, Wolfish Rage I traces how societies rot before they break—and how tyranny feeds on that rot.
Series framing
Living Myths: Tragic Cycles treats ancient tragedy as a recurring human pattern, not a closed past. These are myths that still live because the conditions that produce them remain.
