Abstract
Description
La tragedia griega asumió
como función social y elemento
esencial de su paideía una abarcadora
reflexión sobre el dolor, escenificando
con frecuencia, en el marco de su
construcción simbólica, patologías
como la locura. El objetivo del
presente artículo será precisamente
analizar el léxico y la representación del
dolor en dos tragedias euripideas:
Heracles (c. 416 a. C.) y Orestes (408 a.
C.). Ambas exponen la situación
marginal de un héroe asesino, víctima
de la locura, mostrando coherencia y
variedad en la representación del dolor
y la enfermedad a partir del modo en
que se relacionan el destino del héroe,
el oîkos y la pólis.
Greek tragedy took as an essential element of its paideía a comprehensive reflection on pain, staging often pathologies like madness as part of its symbolic construction. The aim of this paper is to analyze the vocabulary and the representation of pain in two Euripidean tragedies, Heracles (c. 416 BC.) and Orestes (408 BC.). Both plays expose the marginal situation of a murderer hero, victim of madness, showing cohesion and variety in the depiction of pain and disease in relation to the fate of the hero, the oîkos and the pólis.
