Popis: | In 5th century tragedy Agamemnon’s son Orestes is conceived as an athlete in various forms: a frenzied charioteer as well as a horse racer, a wrestler, and a runner. In the present paper I discuss how Sophocles and Euripides used, expanded and re-modelled Aeschylus’ athletic conception of Orestes. |
