Heracles and Euripidean Tragedy

Release Date: 2005-07-14
Euripides' Heracles is an extraordinary play of great complexity, exploring the co-existence of both positive and negative aspects of the eponymous hero. Euripides treats Heracles' ambivalence by showing his uncertain position after the completion of his labours and turns him into a tragic hero by dramatizing his development from the invincible hero of the labours to the courageous bearer of suffering. This book offers a comprehensive reading of Heracles examining it in the contexts of Euripidean dramaturgy, Greek drama and fifth-century Athenian society. It shows that the play, which raises profound questions on divinity and human values, deserves to have a prominent place in every discussion about Euripides and about Greek tragedy. Tracing some of Euripides' most spectacular writing in terms of emotional and intellectual effect, and discussing questions of narrative, rhetoric, stagecraft and audience reception, this work is required reading for all students and scholars of Euripides.

Wie lässt sich die attische Tragödie neu lesen, wenn man sie als Ort rhetorischer Auseinandersetzung mit dem überlieferten Mythenrepertoire versteht? Dieser Band zeigt, wie griechische Tragödien nicht nur mythische Stoffe inszenieren, sondern sich gleichzeitig mit bestehenden Deutungen auseinandersetzen – argumentierend, kommentierend und umdeutend. Die Tragödie wird so zu einem rhetorischen Medium, in dem Mythos als Argument verhandelt wird. Der englischsprachige Sammelband untersucht zentrale rhetorische Elemente in antiken Tragödien und beleuchtet die Mytheninterpretation in der griechischen Tragödie aus neuen Perspektiven. Neben klassischen philologischen Zugängen kommen auch moderne literaturwissenschaftliche, rhetorikanalytische und kulturwissenschaftliche Methoden zum Einsatz.
