Helen in the Iliad ; Causa Belli and Victim of War
Homer creates Helen as a complex and suffering figure with a good mind, who strives for autonomy, expression, and belonging, within and despite the many constraints to which she is subject. The first part of the paper focuses on the constraints within which Helen operates: she is a captive and possession, she is subject to the wishes of the gods, and she is an abhorred foreigner viewed as the cause of suffering and strife. The second part examine…

Alice and Penelope
Les femmes n’ont jamais aimé qu’on les prenne pour acquises, pas plus dans l’Antiquité que nos jours. Deux œuvres présentent, malgré leurs différences d’époque, de culture et de genre, un point de vue commun sur le couple, où les maris, quelque soient leurs motifs, considèrent leurs épouses comme acquises : L’ Odyssée d’Homère et le film de Stanley Kubrick, Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Dans les deux cas, les épouses, profondément offensées, se vengent …
Seneca in Performance
The plays of Seneca the Younger, minister and philosopher under Nero, are today increasingly studied, appreciated - and performed. Here, in a collection of papers from an international cast, scholars explore both established questions, such as the playwright's subtleties of characterisation, his relation to contemporary Roman spectacle and art - and the problems arising in translating him to modern text or stage.
Nothing Is as It Seems
In this valuable book, Hanna M. Roisman provides a uniquely comprehensive look at Euripides' Hippolytus. Roisman begins with an examination of the ancient preference for the implicit style, and suggests a possible reading of Euripides' first treatment of the myth which would account for the Athenian audience's reservations about his Hippolytus Veiled. She proceeds to analyze significant scenes in the play, including Hippolytus' prayer to Artemis,…
The "Odyssey" Re-Formed
The "Odyssey" Re-formed
Frederick Ahl and Hanna M. Roisman believe that contemporary readers who do not know ancient Greek can gain a sophisticated grasp of the Odyssey if they are aware of some of the issues that intrigue and puzzle the experts. They offer a challenging new reading of the epic that is directed to the general student of literature as well as to the classicist.Ahl and Roisman suggest that, while translators have served the Odyssey and its English-speakin…
The Messenger and Eteocles in the Seven against Thebes
De quelle façon Eschyle emploie-t-il le personnage du messager dans la tragédie Les Sept contre Thèbes ? Si Yanagnôrisis d'Étéocle ne dépend pas de l'annonce du fait que Polynice attaque la septième porte [cf. ce que l'A. a écrit là-dessus dans Mnemosyne, 41 (1988)], quelle est l'origine de la tension dans la tragédie ? Le présent article soutient qu'elle provient des intentions précises et de la volonté de manipulation que révèle, au fur et à me…
