Female silences. Multiplicity of meaning in greek tragedy
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Silence, as expression of feelings and emotions, gained a privileged place in Greek literature, particularly in tragedy. In his parodies of the rival art, the comedian Aristophanes attributed to Aeschylus a remarkable expertise in using this resource. But the testimony of preserved and fragmentary tragedies leaves no doubt about the expansion that silence had on the stage of Sophocles and Euripides. Given the limits of this reflection, we will focus our analysis on some successful examples of female silences.
