Course Content (Syllabus)
The course focuses on various categories of speaking minor characters in the extant complete works of Euripides. First the definition of the concept of minor dramatic character and then the conventions governing the presentation of these characters will be discussed. The course will highlight how and why the poet chooses to observe, modify or ignore these conventions, as the case may be, in order to tackle major themes on a minor scale or from a different perspective. These choices will be examined in connection with those of Aeschylus and Sophocles. The discussion will aim at elucidating the relationship of minor characters with principals and/or chorus, focusing on their social status, ethnic origin, gender, emotions and ideology. Given their frequent servile or low social status the minor characters have a variety of views and reactions, some of which apparently echo more clearly the morality of contemporary Athenian society and mediate the representation of identity and alterity in tragedy.
