Topic: Goat Song


  
  Goat Song   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In ancient times, tragoidia or tragedy was explained as a song for the prize of a goat or song at the sacrifice of a goat.
Choruses sang and danced the dithyramb, a song in honor of Dionysus, and the winning poet was awarded a bull, an animal associated with Dionysus.
In the rural Dionysiac festivals, the he-goats that had passed their prime were sacrificed.

 Amazon.com: Goat Song: My Island Angora Goat Farm (Beeler): Books: Susan Clark Basquin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Goat Song: My Island Angora Goat Farm is the riveting memoir of Susan's life on Washington Island, a fascinating chronicle of her affection for her animals, her determination to overcome feelings of insecurity, and her reflections on island life.
Goat Song is ardently recommended reading for anyone who has ever felt the urge to get away from it all and take the rural life in some isolated Eden.
I was touched by the depth of feeling Susan expressed in vividly describing everything from learning to know and care for the goats to living in an isolated community which generously offered friendship and support to a new resident and her risky venture.

 Tragedy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word's origin is Greek tragōidiā (Classical Greek τραγωδία) contracted from trag(o)-aoidiā = "goat song" from tragos = "goat" and aeidein = "to sing".
A goat being presented as a prize at a song contest.
There is some dissent to the dithyrambic origins of tragedy mostly based in the differences between the shapes of their choruses and styles of dancing.

 Amazon.com: A Goat's Song: Books: Dermot Healy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
"Goat's song" is the literal translation of the word "tragedy." There is no better way to sum up this book than a beautiful, heart wrenching tragedy.
The exchange that follows is Jack's half of a conversation with Catherine who wants to know what he does.
With such a promising image as that of the goat stranded and unable to swim across, left only to sing for its mate, it's a pity that Healy did not take more time to create a satisfying story.

 www.reviewingtheevidence.com | GOAT SONG, by Chantal Pelletier
The translation 'feels' right -- the slang is there without feeling artificial or forced.
In many ways the plot of GOAT SONG is almost secondary to what's going on with the characters.
He's living in a damp and dingy flat, is starting to feel his 40ish age, and has an unfulfilled private life -- particularly when compared to his boss Aline Lefevre's acrobatic escapades with her civil servant lover.

 Goat Song: The TragiBlog
How many thousands of academical hours have been spent trying to work out precisely why Tragoedia, which seems to mean “goat song”, seems to mean “goat song”?
The word for goat is very close to traegein, which means `to gnaw'.
A tragedy, then, is a song of gnawing, an ode (a word also descendant from aeidein) that tells of suffering, of a consuming or devouring pain.”
