Prometheus Bound Reappropriated
This article seeks to investigate the cultural and ideological processes conditioning the reception of Prometheus Bound ascribed to Aeschylus in the so far unexplored poetic drama Prometheus or The Play of a Day (1978) by the renowned Modern Greek poet Nikiforos Vrettakos. It is argued that his rewriting of the tragic myth bears the features of a palimpsest, whose layers include archetypal features of Prometheus Bound, such as the Titan’s dignifi…
Fragments and Lost Tragedies
Euripides, "Alexandros"
This is the first full-scale commentary on Euripides’ Alexandros , which is one of the best preserved fragmentary tragedies. It yields insight into aspects of Euripidean style, ideology and dramatic technique (e.g. rhetoric, stagecraft and imagery) and addresses textual and philological matters, on the basis of a re-inspection of the papyrus fragments. This book offers a reconstruction of the play and an investigation of issues of characterizatio…
Euripides’ ‘Trojan Trilogy’ and the Reception of the Epic Tradition
Introduction
The Papyrus from the ‘Musician’s Tomb’ in Daphne (MΠ 7449, 8517-8523)
The author explores the evidence for the earliest Greek papyrus discovered so far (430/425 bc ). It was unearthed as part of a collection of writing implements along with musical instruments in a tomb in Daphne in 1981. She attempts to situate the available evidence in context, by investigating how it could be mapped onto the framework of papyrological research and its contemporary literary and cultural milieu
Euripides Danae and Dictys
Euripides' Danae and Dictys are two of the most important and influential treatments of a popular tragic myth-cycle, which is unrepresented among extant plays. Moreover, they are early treatments of major Euripidean plot-patterns that anticipate and illuminate more familiar works in the corpus, both extant and fragmentary. This is the first full-scale study of the two plays, which sheds light on plot-patterns, key themes and aspects of Euripidean…
An Apulian Volute-Crater Inspired by Euripides' Dictys
This paper aims to substantiate the relation of an Apulian vase-painting to a fourth-century revival of Euripides' Dictys. The obverse shows Perseus returning to Seriphos with the Gorgon's head, with Danae and Dictys as suppliants at Poseidon's altar, and king Polydectes. Its dramatic inspiration is suggested by the depiction of characters in stage-costumes, the ‘speaking’ gesture used by Dictys, the conventional aedicula-pattern, and the Dionysi…
The myth of Alope in Greek Trajedy
Cet article etudie le traitement dramatique du mythe d Alope par Choerilos, Euripide et Carcinos. On observe que chaque piece semble refleter les tendances dramatiques de son temps conformement aux conditions de la societe, de la polis et de la culture : le temoignage concernant la piece de Choerilos suggere une dimension religieuse en accord avec le caractere traditionnellement religieux de la premiere phase de la tragedie, tandis que dans l Alo…
