The Tragedy of Herakles

Peter Weiss' Aesthetics of Resistance comes with another interesting read of Herakles, as a protector of the working class.

The book starts with a group of young workers extensively studying and discussing the Pergamon Frieze, which depicts the battle between the Gods and the Giants, and Herkales' story in 1936 Berlin.

I don't get the point of this article, ostensibly a discussion about a play, but it goes off into abstract philosophical points. It comes across as trying hard to demonstrate his eruditeness, but it doesn't make any point that I can grasp. It has a title that got my attention, but it doesn't really say anything.
