‘Formularità tragica’ nell’Agamennone di Eschilo
Abstract
Starting from preliminary remarks on the relationship between epic, orality and written tragic texts, the paper focuses on the ‘tragic formulae’ of Aeschylus’ Agamemnon as part of a common repertoire. Probably introduced by Aeschylus, some ‘formulae’ became a shared legacy (often exclusively within the frame of the theatrical production). Some patterns acting as internal stage directions are also ‘formulaic’.
