Forms of Justice in Aeschylus’ Eumenides
In this article, we explore the forms of justice presented in Aeschylus’ Eumenides. Most scholarship hitherto has focused on the shift from retaliatory justice to trial by court of law enacted in the play. However, the verdict pronounced in Orestes’ favor does not bring about resolution, but rather threatens to destabilize the polis, as the Furies redirect their anger against Athens. Indeed, the play can be seen as a study in the limitations of c…
Who Named Me
This article considers the social implications of the uncertainty surrounding Oedipus’ identity in Oedipus Tyrannus . It argues that questions of legitimacy, citizenship, and social status are raised at critical points in the play, and teases out the implications of details whose significance has not been recognized. It interprets Oedipus’ famous speech at 1076–85, in which he declares himself a “child of Tychē ,” as a response to the news that h…
Coincidence in Menander’s Dyskolos
Situation comedies thrive on spatial and temporal coincidences. In Menander’s Dyskolos, the audience is repeatedly alerted to coincidences of place and time. Key words that express this coordination are καιρός and τυγχάνω and their cognates. Both have spatial and temporal dimensions and self-consciously highlight the machinations of the plot. By drawing attention to spatial and temporal coincidence as well as failures to coincide due to Knemon’s …
Greek Tragedy for the New Millenium
This paper examines Molora, an adaptation of the Orestes story by South African playwright Yael Farber set in the context of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It considers the play’s engagement with restorative justice in relation to the exploration of different forms of justice by Aeschylus in his Oresteia. It also examines Farber’s play in light of the ideas of the influential Brazilian theatre director Augusto Boal, noting ho…
