Jean RACINE (1639-1699), fut éduqué par les jansénistes de Port Royal. Ses tragédies dérivent de plusieurs sources : « Andromaque » (1667), « Iphigénie » (1674) et « Phèdre » (1677), de la littérature latine et grecque ; « Britannicus » (1669), « Bérénice » (1670) et « Mithridate » (1673), de l´histoire romaine ; « Bajazet » (1672) de l´histoire turque contemporaine ; et « Esther » (1689) et « Athalie » (1691) de la Bible. Il écrivit aussi une comédie dans le style d´Aristophane, « Plaideurs » (1668). L´idée centrale de la majorité de ses tragédies est la perception de la folie aveugle de la passion humaine, asservie en permanence à la poursuite de ses objectifs et toujours vouée à l´échec.

With 1,125 entries and 170 contributors, this is the first encyclopedia on the history of classical archaeology. It focuses on Greek and Roman material, but also covers the early cultures of the Bronze Age Aegeans and the Etruscans and manifestations of Greek and Roman culture in other parts of Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. Unlike recent studies focusing on the science of excavating, this book considers archaeological study in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the modern era. It includes entries on individuals whose activities influenced knowledge of sites and monuments and sites as seen, changed, and interpreted through time; entries on major works of art excavated during the Renaissance; and works that were known in the Middle Ages.
