Más concretamente, la investigación estudia los signos intradramáticos a través de los cuales Eurípides demuestra modelos adecuados para la reacción emociona...

This paper concentrates on the literary sources of the battle of Delion (424 BCE) and reopens the debate on the relevance of Euripides’ Supplices for the narrative of this event.

La création par Clisthène, à la fin du vie siècle, des dix tribus encadrant le corps civique athénien marqua durablement la vie de la cité dans de nombreux domaines. Les historiens modernes ont longtemps privilégié une interprétation de cette réforme comme une opération de pure rationalité abstraite, émanant d’une volonté d’isonomie et d’homogénéit...

We will study, firstly, the similarities and differences which characterize the heroines of both masterpieces, Graciela and Medea, the evolution which they present as ...

The three great ancient Greek tragedians (Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides) each created his own version of the myth, and these plays have been and continue to be translated or adapted into various languages. In contradiction to the famous phrase “lost in transl...
