Giorgios Sampatakakis (University of Patras). For the sake of history alone: Queer adaptations of Greek Tragedy in Greece

Queer adaptations of Greek tragedy by modern Greek poets, directors, and dramatists reengage the tragic canon not by preserving its stabilized, “straight” forms but by bending it toward modes of denial, dissidence, and transformation. These works do not simply “make tragedy queer,” but reveal how adaptation itself already works queerly: turning, unsettling, repeating, and refusing stable hierarchies and (nationalizing) expectations.
