Abstract
In this article the author tries to devise a rigorous method that will avoid generalizations as well as subjective interpretations, in order to ascertain the essence of the homo religiosus in Euripides. In this sense, both the ‘theologian’ Aeschylus and the ‘philosopher’ Euripides share a similar vocabulary as well as a set of ideas in which concepts like eusebes or hosios help to understand the identity of the homo religiosus when studied in their contexts.
