CANTO E ESPETÁCULO NA TRAGÉDIA GREGA: AS CENAS FINAIS DE HIPÓLITO DE EURÍPIDES

I want to present here one of the plays studied in my doctorate, which hadas theme the poetry (the song) and the spectacle in Greek tragedy, with Euripides infocus of the presented reflections. In this present article, I detach the relation of theprologue scene (vv. 1-120) consisting of a monologue uttered by Aphrodite (vv. 1-57),followed by a coral song to Artemis lead by Hippolytus (vv. 58-71), a monologue ofHippolytus (a prayer to Artemis) and a dialogue of Hippolytus with a servant (vv. 73-120) in contrast to the final scenes – forth and last episode (vv. 1153-1267); the laststasimon, a hymn to Aphrodite sung by the chorus of Troizen married women (vv.1268-82), followed by the exodus (vv. 1283-1466)
