Abstract
NAPOLI, Juan Tobías. Distintas posiciones éticas en Hécuba de Eurípides: el problema de la virtud. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.2, pp.80-80. ISSN 0328-1205. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/1851779xe080.
There are in the Euripides’ Hecuba, scattered throughout the tragedy and in the mouths of different characters, numerous arguments of an ethical-philosophical nature. These arguments better capture the speculation of 5th century sophistry than the way of thinking of characters who belong to an archaic historical period and whose actions and evaluations were collected by the Homeric epic. Even these arguments are often contradictory to each other. We want to focus our attention of some of them, as a way of deepening the poet’s creative modality.
Keywords : Euripides; Hecuba; ethics; Agamemnon; Odysseus.
