Estrutura e espaço cénico no prólogo da Electra de Eurípides
| Summary: | In Euripides’s Electra the legendary theme of the revenge of Agamemnon’s children is updated by means of a less heroic and more realistic performance. The innovations made by Euripides when handling the myth are given functional visibility in the prologue whose original formal structure aims to reconfigure the roles of traditional characters within a setting which is alien to the world of tragedy. The change of setting and a longer prologue than usual have allowed the poet a tragically visionary re-characterisation of the drama’s space, time and people. |
