This study focuses on aspects of the dramatic construction of some Sophocles’ tragedies (Women of Trachis, Electra, Philoctetes). In particular, it is intended to show how the Women of Trachis perform the same type of dramaturgy as Electra and Philoctetes, where the plot goes so far as to risk an unexpected outcome, threatening the integrity of large sections of the mythical corpus, until a deus ex machina or another dramaturgical mechanism put the story back into the appropriate and traditional path.

Abstract

This study focuses on aspects of the dramatic construction of some Sophocles’ tragedies (Women of Trachis, Electra, Philoctetes). In particular, it is intended to show how the Women of Trachis perform the same type of dramaturgy as Electra and Philoctetes, where the plot goes so far as to risk an unexpected outcome, threatening the integrity of large sections of the mythical corpus, until a deus ex machina or another dramaturgical mechanism put the story back into the appropriate and traditional path.
