Amor y guerra en la tragedia de Sófocles

subject

description

Love, not in its form of erotico ‑sexual impulse, but as an engine to achieve different objectives, and violence, not in its organized form, as war, have a significant role in the Greek tragedy. In the Sophocles'Electra, in which violence and love play a leading role, violence, which appears as necessary, as a result of a violent action which in turn engenders a violent reaction, is favored by a new affirmation of the supremacy of the father on the mother and of the character exclusively patrilineal of the affiliation in the frame of a process of balance of the characters left by the tradition.
