Abstract

Abstract:In this article I analyze how ἀμηχανία, μηχανία and their roots are central in Euripides' Hippolytus. In the first part, I investigate closely specific occurrences of ἀμηχανία in the play: this condition of "helplessness" appears at key moments of the drama, first in relation to women at large, then in connection to Phaedra specifically. The second part is dedicated to μηχανία, the ability to contrive. This skill also recurs throughout the play: Theseus regards it as a general (yet ambiguous) feature of mankind in his speech, but it also becomes a prerogative of female characters (Phaedra, the Nurse) and describes their agency on stage.

欧里庇得斯的希波吕忒斯:阿梅卡尼亚与机械论之间的人类话语

摘要:本文分析了在欧里庇得斯的《希波吕忒斯》中，ν μηχαν末梢、μηχαν末梢及其根是如何占据中心地位的。在第一部分中，我仔细研究了戏剧中“ο μηχαν α”的具体出现:这种“无助”的情况出现在戏剧的关键时刻，首先是与女性有关，然后是与菲德拉有关。第二部分是献给μηχαν α的能力。这一技巧在全剧中反复出现:忒修斯在他的演讲中把它视为人类的一个普遍(但模糊的)特征，但它也成为女性角色(护士费德拉)的特权，并描述了她们在舞台上的代理。
