Summary:
This thesis is a study on the reception of Euripides in Greece and the Greek-speaking communities of Diaspora in Asia Minor throughout the 19th century. The fields concerned are translation, publication and theatre activity and the aim is to establish the evolution of the ancient poet’s reception via cross-thematic examination of these fields.
The work is divided in two parts. The first part is an account of Euripides’s reception in Europe, mainly in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain; it also introduces the reader to the references to Euripides in the texts of the Greek scholars and the activity concearning his dramas in the educational programs of Greek school communities before the 1821 Greek Revolution. Theatre activity on ancient drama is also enquired.
The second part follows the reception of the ancient Greek poet in the independent Greece, in education, translation, publication, amateur and professional theatre performances of Euripidean drama, along with a research in the texts, arcticles, studies published on Euripides. It also includes an account of the influence of the Euripidean plays to the European and Greek dramatography, looking for expressed connections to the prototypes mainly through arcticles in the Press when these plays are performed.
The work has developed especially in the context of the paratext theory of Genette, through which the study mainly enquires to point out any clues in the vast textual grounds that contribute to the reinforcement of the receptional procedure.
The main corpus of this study is accompanied by Appendices and Indices in order to provide further aid to the reader.
