LamariBerlin Walter de Gruyter20101 online resource (262 p.)Trends in classics. Supplementary volumes ;v. 6Description based upon print version of record.3-11-024592-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.Theorizing tragic narration -- Retelling the past, shaping the future: onstage narrative and offstage allusions (1-689) -- Violating expectations: offstage narrative and the play's open end (670-1766) -- Intertextuality -- Space -- Conclusions -- Myth for all: the play's flexi-narrative -- Appendix I: the trilogy -- Appendix II: the text.Euripides' Phoenissae bears one of the richest tragic plots: multiple narrative levels are interwoven by means of various anachronies, focalizers offer different and often challenging points of view, while a complex mythical matrix is deftly employed as the backdrop against which the exploration of the mechanics of tragic narrative takes place. After providing a critical perspective on the ongoing scholarly dialogue regarding narratology and drama, this book uses the former as a working tool for the study and interpretation of the latter. The Phoenissae is approached as a coherent narrative unit and issues like the use of myth, narrators, intertext, time and space are discussed in detail. It is within these contexts that the play is seen as a Theban mythical 'thesaurus' both exploring previous mythical ramifications and making new additions. The result is rewarding: Euripides constructs a handbook of the Theban saga that was informative for those mythically untrained, fascinating for those theatrically demanding, but also dexterously open upon each one's reception.
