Facing Down the Furies

In this deeply personal book, the award winning classicist Edith Hall turns to Greek tragedies for the wisdom to understand the damage caused by suicide and to help those who are contemplating suicide themselves. 

"Edith Hall combines personal memoir with her own intimate understanding and painstakingly researched use of ancient Greek Tragedy to address the subject of suicide. This important book aims to help readers who may find themselves in a similar position of suffering." - Paul Cartledge, University of Cambridge
