    P M Holt, Philip HoltARTICLEMnemosyne1999

    Distinguant l'interpretation moderne, politique, fondee sur l'opposition consciente, morale et religieuse de l'individu et de l'etat, et l'interpretation antique, emotive et culturelle, fondee sur les valeurs et l'experience de la communaute, de la figure d'«Antigone», l'A. propose une lecture de la piece de Sophocle qui s'appuie sur le fondement historique de la conception athenienne de la polis au V e siecle, d'une part, et prend en considerati…

The plague in Oidipous Tyrannos ; the blindness of the ‘seer’ Teiresias in the same play; the later blindness of Oidipous in both the Oidipous plays; the fatal sickness of Herakles in the Trachiniai ; the incurable wound of Philoktetes — all these sicknesses are used by the playwright to express some important truths about the characters …
