Abstract:

When Sophocles wrote Electra's story, he gave her a sister, Chrysothemis. In their two scenes together, the sisters warn, entreat, cajole, insult, spar with, and proclaim affection for each other. While Electra maintains her public mourning for their father Agamemnon, Chrysothemis chooses not to openly defy his murderers, Aegisthus and their mother Clytemnestra, believing that resistance that accomplishes nothing is futile. Time has not been kind to this more pragmatic sister. In English-language criticism, she has acquired her own epithet, ‘timid’; her femininity has been dismissed as vacuous

Abstract:

Peaceful dream of Clytemnestra, or what is missing in Euripides’ Electra Clytemnestra’s dream features as an important element of the vengeance dramas of both Aeschylus and Sophocles: still, is remains absent from the Euripidean version. This short essay sketches the possible implications of such an ‘omission’, while simultaneously highlighting the highly contrasting implications of the dream in the Choephorae and in the Sophoclean Electra.

Abstract:

The familiar crux in line 139, as obelized by Dawe, disappears in the new Oxford Text, whose editors accept the Triclinian reading . Their short critical note touches only on the metrical issue, citing discussions by Stinton and Diggle, in both of which acceptance of here is cautiously linked with recognition of the same responsion at Philoctetes 209/218 and Euripides, Medea 159/183. The note concludes with a reference (credited to Miss Parker) to p. 75 of an article by K. Itsumi.

Abstract:

Abstract This article examines the fourth‐century ‘Exeter pelike’ (ARV2 1516.80) by the Jena Painter, situating it within the wider debate over the relationship between vase‐painting and tragic text and performance. The front side depicts the meeting of Orestes and Electra at Agamemnon's tomb, and is commonly interpreted as relating closely to Aeschylus’Choephori. However, a widely‐missed inscription ‘Ism[ene]’ must be an error on the part of the painter for ‘Chrysothemis’, a confusion caused by knowledge of Sophocles. The inclusion of ‘Chrysothemis’ on the Exeter pelike alludes to Sophocles'

Abstract:

Authorial presence in tragedy, where the poet never speaks in his own person and where there is no master voice to guide our reception, is elusive and implicit. Despite tragedy’s polyphony the purpose of this study is to analyze some sample passages from Sophocles’ Electra for textual traces of its author’s voice as a response to Aeschylus’ Oresteia. Each part of this study is focusing on different aspects of self-reflexive poetics.

Abstract:

This thesis discusses the acting techniques employed by actors for tragedy of the Greek stage during the twentieth century. It argues that there were two main acting schools - 'school' here meaning an established unified style of acting shared by a group of actors and directors. The first, starting with the 1936 production of Electra by Sophocles directed by Dimitris Rontiris's at the National Theatre of Greece and running through roughly to the late 1970s, developed from a vocal/rhetorical/text-based approach. The second, established by Karolos Koun's Art Theatre in 1942 and which can be said

Abstract:

Dans la réadaptation d’un mythe, l’évolution des mentalités, notamment en ce qui concerne les représentations familiales, donne lieu à de larges remaniements de l’intrigue proposée par la tradition antique. Le mythe d’Electre, peut-être parce qu’il propose un modèle déjà compliqué à assumer pour les Grecs anciens (un fils tuant sa mère), est l’objet d’une transmission difficile. La rareté des Electre au XVIIe siècle, puis les innovations auxquelles les dramaturges sont contraints pour les adapter dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, attestent ces difficultés.

A travers des représentations contemporaines d’Antigone, d'Œdipe roi et d'Electre de Sophocle, l'auteur s'efforce de suivre et d'analyser l'évolution du phénomène de la mise en scène de tragédies grecques, en France, de 1960 à 1986. Dans la première partie de sa thèse, il expose et critique les réponses apportées par les différents metteurs en scène de cette période aux questions qu

Abstract:

Chez Sophocle, la tragédie ne résulte pas d'une conciliation impossible. Elle est provoquée par une inimitié qui ne peut recourir aux institutions et qui donne une dimension politique à des formes originales de contestation. La défense de normes importe moins que la volonté de triompher, constitutive du politique. Les aspects idéologiques sont éclipsés par des stratégies d'affrontement, que différencie chaque fois leur interpétation de l'impératif éthique traditionnel "aider ses amis / nuire à ses ennemis". En préalable à la recherche est mise en évidence la flexibilité de cette éthique trop s

Abstract:

Le propos de ce travail est de montrer en quoi sophocle est influence par la sophistique. Trop souvent l'on croit qu'euripide seul est inspire par les reflexions des sophistes. Mais si l'on etudie le probleme du vrai, du faux et de la tromperie chez sophocle, l'on s'apercoit que ses tragedies posent toujours le probleme de la vraisemblance et de l'illusion. Ensuite il est clair que sophocle montre toujours les consequences de la tromperie, ce qui le distingue d'euripide.

Le premier temps est désigné comme le temps de la mère ou le monde à l'envers en raison de l'anomie qui règne après le régicide.
