Riuso ed evoluzione della τις-Rede in Euripide
Abstract
This essay analyses how Euripides reused the epic pattern of the so-called τις-Rede or tis-speech, used by Homer sometimes to make a character speculate about what someone might say, other times to give a single and anonymous example of a crowd’s opinion. Euripides uses both the traditional epic models in his tragedies: potential τις-Reden (Alc. 954-61, 995-1005; Her. 26-30, 515-9; Pho. 578-83; fr. 708 K.) and actual τις-Reden (Andr. 1104-6; Hel. 1589-91; HF 950-2). The quoted passages are all studied, together with some other passages mentioned for comparison purposes (Ba. 204-5; Hec. 313-6; HF 1286-90; IT 1358-61; Or. 1416-24; Suppl. 314-6, 343-6).
