This book argues that the creation and use of anonymous figures is an important tool in the transformation of traditional mythological heroes into unique dramatic characters. Through close reading of the passages in which nameless characters appear, this study demonstrates the significant impact of their speech, actions, and identity on the characterization of the particular named heroes to whom they are attached. Exploring the boundaries between anonymity and naming in mythico-historical drama, the book draws attention to an important but neglected aspect of the genre, suggesting a new perspective from which to read, perform, and appreciate Greek Tragedy.Mnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.Supplementum ;344.Characters and characteristics in literatureGreek drama (Tragedy)History and criticismGreek drama (Tragedy)CharactersMythology, GreekCharacters and characteristics in literature.Greek drama (Tragedy)History and criticism.Greek drama (Tragedy)Characters.Mythology, Greek.882/.0109Yoon Florence1981-956893MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817512503321The use of anonymous characters in Greek tragedy2167254UNINA
