The Origin of Greek Tragedy.
ON the Springfield Republican

from the Springfield Republican
Prof William Ridgeway has embodied
In book form his doctrine that Greek
tragedy did not arise from the worship of
Dionysius, but originated in the worship
OF the dead, and in particular in the mi
metlc spectacIes performed at the graves
OF deceased heroes in order to win their
favor and to encourage them to repeat the
actions by which they had benefited their
country during their lifetime
The chief piece of evidence in which he
trusts Is the well known passage of Hero
ootus concerning Cleisthenes who reigned
at Sicyon from about 81 e. c. to about
,sF u. G, and the bones OF Adraxtus
That astute ruler was anxious to eject
