English summary: Through the years, Jacqueline de Romilly repeatedly made Greek tragedy and its relationship with the major intellectual movements of the Pericles century the focus of her research. This book combines various studies previously unpublished or difficult to access, all dealing more or less directly with this subject. Thanks to the author’s comparisons of the tragedies, or between the latter and other texts of the same era, readers can glimpse the intellectual activities of that time as they occurred through the years – and learn how the literary genre evolved through the years. These developments revitalised the tragic themes, yet did not strip them of their initial powerful impact, untarnished by the passing of time. French description: Au fil des ans, Jacqueline de Romilly est revenue a plusieurs reprises vers la tragedie grecque et ses rapports avec les grands mouvements intellectuels du siecle de Pericles: le livre groupe diverses etudes, inedites ou difficiles a se procurer, qui portent toutes, plus ou moins directement, sur ce sujet. Grace a des comparaisons entre les tragedies, ou entre celles-ci et les autres textes du temps, on voit se degager le reflet d’une actualite intellectuelle, qui se manifeste – au fil des ans, et encore dans l’evolution du genre. Cette evolution renouvelle les themes tragiques sans leur oter leur force premiere, qui, elle, echappe au temps.Jacqueline de Romilly occupait au College de France une chaire intitulee La Grece et la formation de la pensee morale et politique . Une liste des ses publications (livres et articles) complete le volume; elle couvre plus de cinquante annees de recherche (1938-1995).
