Description

This scholarly work by De Gruyter Saur provides a comparative interpretation of two major tragedies written by Euripides toward the end of his life in 406 BC. By examining the parallels between 'Orestes' and 'Bakchen', the text explores similarities in plot structure, dramaturgical concepts, and the author's underlying intentions. This analysis offers a way to understand the often mysterious nature of the 'Bakchen'. Through this comparison, the play is revealed as a political document that addresses the difficult problems of an ethics built upon revenge and retribution. It is an essential study for those interested in ancient studies and the dramatic works of Euripides.
