• Resumen

  • Beyond the traditional image of Helen as being conscious of her nature as an instrument of divine punishment for mankind, Euripides constructs a “new” Helen, mistress of her destiny and authoress of an unexpected happy end.

    Clever and crafty Helen acts as a true δραματουργός, by creating a fictional ‘plot’ and instructing the ‘actors’. By his original treatment of the story, Euripides strengthens the expression of selfconsciousness of the power of his art.
