Ancient narrative: representation, anticipation, and teleology

Description

I delivered a working paper on the famous "inconsistency" in the character of Iphigenia in Euripides' tragedy, Iphigenia in Aulis. I sketched the connections of self-narration to agency, responsibility, and ethical orientation, and then discussed how recent philosophy of religion gives us a new way to appreciate the effect of Artemis' intervention in this tragedy. I suggested that divine potency is a striking example of how transcendences should make us re-think core tenets of narratology.
