ЕВРИПИДОВАТА ТРАГЕДИЯ ХЕКУБА: МЕТАМОРФОЗА И РИТУАЛНО ПРОСТРАНСТВО
EURIPIDES’ TRAGEDY HECUBA: METAMPRPHOSIS AND RITUAL SPACE

Summary/Abstract: The topic considered is the motive of regressive metamorphosis of the Trojan queen Hecuba as an essential element for the identification and reconstruction of the ritual space of dramaturgical eventfulness in Euripides’ tragedy Hecuba. Metamorphosis is considered generally as a non-traditional solution of the tragic conflict. One of the few known precedents is the lost Sophocles’ tragedy Tereus, which places the dramaturgical ritual space – on the analogy to Euripides’ tragedy Hecuba – in the mythological topos of the ancient Thracian world. These paradigmatic associations determine the specific functionality of ancient Thrace in seeking for theatrical Otherness of Athenian democracy and the ritualising of overcoming its own problems and conflict situations.
