Sommario/riassunto

"'Phoenician Women', one of Euripides' later tragedies, is an intriguing play that arguably displays some of his finest dramatic technique. Rich in cast and varied in incident, it is an example of Euripides' experimentation with structure. It dramatises the most fertile mythical tradition of the city of Thebes and its doomed royal family, focusing in particular on the conflict between Eteocles and Polyneices as a result of their father Oedipus' curse, which eventually leads to mutual fratricide. The play was very popular throughout antiquity, and became part of the so-called 'Byzantine Triad' (along with 'Hecuba' and 'Orestes'), of plays studied in the school curriculum. Thalia Papadopoulou here offers a thorough survey of the play in its historical context, against the background of Athenian tragedy and Euripidean dramaturgy. Employing various critical approaches, she investigates the literary tradition and the dynamics of intertextuality, Euripidean dramatic technique, the use



of rhetoric, characterisation, gender, the function of the Chorus, aspects of performance and the reception of the play from antiquity to modern times."--Bloomsbury Publishing

Sommario/riassunto

Au Moyen Âge, des religieux trouvent en montagne l’isolement nécessaire à l’épanouissement de leur spiritualité. Les maisons de prière qu’ils y fondent participent néanmoins au développement des relations entre les hauteurs et la plaine : en dépit de leur idéal de



solitude, elles n’en sont pas moins ouvertes sur le monde extérieur, beaucoup d’entre elles sont aussi des lieux de passage, des points de contact, des espaces symboliques dans les activités humaines et économiques. En croisant des perspectives historiques, archéologiques et géographiques, cet ouvrage collectif apporte un nouveau regard sur les monastères et les couvents de montagne. Le Congrès national des sociétés historiques et scientifiques rassemble chaque année universitaires, membres de sociétés savantes et jeunes chercheurs. Ce recueil est issu de travaux présentés lors du 142e Congrès sur le thème « Circulations montagnardes, circulations européennes ».
