| Zusammenfassung: | Elizabeth Belfiore's "Murder Among Friends: Violation of Philia in Greek Tragedy" covers more ground than its main title suggests, discussing all kinds of violation of "philia" and defining "philia" broadly to include relationships with "xenoi", suppliants and even oneself. If her interpretative touch is not always as deft as it might be, her basic claim that "philia"-violation is a generic feature of tragedy is broadly convincing, and her book is a useful reminder of how tragic plots can be understood in these terms.
