Abstract

PERCZYK, Cecilia Josefina. Teseo y Heracles: algo más que una amistad. Argos [online]. 2012, vol.35, n.2, pp.21-39. ISSN 1853-6379.

On Euripides' Heracles, the Dorian hero kills his family in a fit of madness. Once he is aware of what he has done, he decides to commit suicide, but Theseus persuades him otherwise. Given the peculiarity of this tragedy -in comparison with others that raise the same subject- I will analyse the healing power of the word in Heracles' recovery. I will focus on the influence of the sophist movement, particularly the figures of Protagoras and Gorgias in Euripides' work since I consider that the condition to develop a cure using words is the study that the sophists do on the persuasive function of the lógos.

Keywords : Euripides; Gorgias; Protagoras; Logos; Psychotherapy.
