Scene of characters in the arcaic epic and classic greek tragedy

Abstract

This article investigated the use of a narrative technique present in the Homeric epic and Euripides’ tragedy Iphigenia in Aulis, in order to demonstrate the effects produced by such technique. The result of the investigation pointed out not only the difference between the epic and tragic narrative levels, but also the production of a particular narrative framework in both narratives: the scene of characters.
