LOPEZ SAIZ, Brenda. Ares y Dionisos: discurso político y poesía trágica en Fenicias de Eurípides. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.2, pp.5-6. ISSN 0328-1205.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/1851779xe019.

In this paper, we read Euripides’ Phoenissae as a metadramatic reflection which is developed through the opposition of two semantic fields: on the one hand, war and eris, political power, individual interest and public discourse associated to “sophistic” practices; on the other hand, peace and concord among members of the community; philia bonds, colective well-being and choral mousikē, which in turn are subject of self-referential passages. Through this opposition, we propose that the play poses a critique to the political and military situation faced by Athens between 411 and 409 b.C, and, at the same time, it develops a meta-dramatic reflection about the social function of tragic poetry, opposing it to the new kinds of discourses which, taught by the sophists, prevail in Athenian public sphere.
