The Paths Of Survival

The Paths of Survival explores the fragility of the written word; the ways in which it is destroyed and the ways in which it endures against all the odds. Tracing the few surviving fragments of Aeschylus's lost tragedy, Myrmidons, the volume moves back in time: from a scrap of papyrus in a library to Aeschylus revising the play in ancient Sicily.
