Der mythische Held in saekularisierter Umgebung: zum <em>Orestes</em> des Euripides

Abstract

The link between the two parts of the drama should be seen in the innovations introduced by Euripides into the myth; in the plot of this drama, a “secularization” of his mother’s murder by Orestes, the poet stresses the analogies between Clytaemestra and Helen.
