Original Title:
Ἀγαμέμνων Αισχύλου, Αἴας Σοφοκλή, Ἑκάβη Ευριπίδη: η θάλασσα του Αιγαίου στην αρχαιοελληνική τραγωδία του τρωικού κύκλου
Translated title:
Aeschylus' Agamemnon, Sophocles' Ajax, Euripides' Hecuba: the Aegean Sea in the ancient greek tragedy of the trojan cycle
Summary:
This thesis examines the element of the sea in selected tragedies of the Trojan cycle, Aeschylus' Agamemnon, Sophocles' Ajax and Euripides' Hecuba. Their joint examination is carried out based on the number of sea references, the placement of their events after the fall of Troy, as well as their thematic and lexical intertextual relationships. Basic patterns of analysis of the tragedies are the immensity and continuity of the sea in space and time, the journey as a stage of transition, the contrasting aspects of the sea and the element of deception, the sea as a generative cause of calamities, sea water in the context of its rituals burial and purification, nautical metaphors and political reality.
