“TALES SON SUS ENCANTOS” (TROYANAS 893): HELENA EN HOMERO Y TROYANAS DE EURÍPIDES
Keywords:
Helena – Homero – Euripides – ambiguity - rhetoricAbstract
The paper proposes to analyze the figure of Helen in the Homeric poems and in The Trojan Women of Euripides. In the Iliad is a personage who is spoken in numerous passages, but is shown in person only in six of them as a suffering being who insults himself for the evils that have occurred. In the Odyssey she is an excellent hostess, but the speech of Menelaus reveals its deceitful and ambiguous character. In both poems the figure of Helena is associated with the subject of its responsibility with respect to the war of Troy: is it responsible or falls to the gods the numerous deaths of Achaians and Trojans? Euripides raises this question in its The Trojan Women tragedy that shows Helen confronted in an agon with Hecuba. The tragic poet takes the Homeric source and endows both characters with a rhetorical ability, more characteristic of fifth-century Athens than of the Homeric Trojan.Downloads
