H EΘΕΛΟΝΤΙΚΗ ΘΥΣΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΑΛΚΗΣΤΗΣ ΤΟΥ ΕΥΡΙΠΙΔΗ
The voluntary sacrifice of the Euripidean Alcestis
Le sacrifice volontaire de l'Aleceste d'Euripide
Résumé
In the Alcestis, Euripides presents a new insight on the literary motif of the sacrifice and resurrection of the beloved, operated through the intervention of an omnipotent hero. In this play, the morally uplifting narrative that originates from fairy tales and legends prompts questioning about the validity/durability of social stereotypes concerning heroism, nobility and marriage and finally opens the way of the socialization of men and women.
