Abstract

At lines 10–13 of Euripides’ Phoenician Women, Jocasta interrupts her account of the descendants of Cadmus to introduce herself as “child of Menoeceus” (παῖς Μενοικέως). This is striking because elsewhere it is always Creon who is so described. Moreover, Jocasta is strangely insistent upon her father’s and brother’s importance to her own identity. This paper explores the implications of this passage for Jocasta’s character, demonstrating how the prologue anticipates and intersects with a number of themes central to the play: glory (κλέος), motherhood, relationships between siblings, and the interweaving of the Spartoi with the Labdacids.

期刊介绍： Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
