| English abstract | We present a translation and an interpretation of the second episode (vv. 381-597) in Euripides’Suppliants, performed in the Theater of Dionysus sometime between 424 and 416 B.C. The drama is composed of 1,234 verses and receives its title from the chorus, which is composed of elderly Argive women, wives of chiefs killed in the ill-fated expedition against Thebes. The women leave Argos in the direction of Demeter’s temple in Eleusis, to supplicate for their sacred right to recover the bodies of their dead sons (arbitrarily retained by the recently enthroned king of Thebes, Creon) and to give them a proper funeral. The work’s title, therefore, directs our attention to a religious theme |
