Redefinición y positivación de la figura de Helena en la trilogía troyana de Eurípides

subject

description

Traditionally it has been considered that the change in the configuration of the character of Helen in Euripides does not take place until its tragedy Helen . This is, without doubt, the central work in which the redefinition and positivation of Helen will reach a full theatrical development. We think, with everything, that a more attentive reading of the motives used in previous tragedies gives us the key for the correct interpretation of the innovations that the author is introducing in the tragic characterization of this mythical figure. This process can be fixed in a convulsed period in the Athenian life, which goes from Nicias’s Peace to Euripides’ definitive march of Athens.
