Ἱκετεία и Еурипидова Хекаба: конфликт обредног и секуларизованог
Ἱκετεία and Euripides’ Hecuba: the conflict of the ritual and the secularized

Summary/Abstract: In this paper I give possible reading of two episodes of Hecubaʼs supplication in Euripidesʼ drama Hecuba. The papar follows actions of the female protagonist Hecuba who in her act of begging for mercy uses the ritual potential of this act, and the answer of two male characters (to her request) with which they secularize the originally ritual act, and thus weaken it in order to escape from it.
