Resumen
Descripción general del contenido del recurso.
In Euripides̓ Heracles, while the hero is doing one of the twelve labors, Lico seizes Thebes̓ throne and intends to murder the hero’s family. Heracles appears unexpectedly and, once aware of the situation, tries to restore order in the city. He kills the usurper and begins a ritual to purify the palace, which later interrupts. Lyssa makes him lose his mind, for that he shoots his wife and children dead with an arrow. When he comes to his mind, thanks to Athena’s intervention, the hero decides to commit suicide, but Theseus arrives and convinces him not to and to accompany him to Athens. Note that throughout the whole work, Euripides̓ uses the subversion of normal ritual patterns. Not only does he pervert the ritual of purification and makes it a space for infanticide in the fourth episode, but he also alters the rules of the appeal, transforming Megara and the children in sacrificial victims, confuses weddings with funerals in the second episode, and continuously postpones the moan to the end of the tragedy. But, on the other hand, in the exodus, Theseus promises Heracles to purify pollution and to establish sacrifices in his honor once they arrive in Athens, evoking in this way a ritual that will be performed according to normal patterns. In this regard I will discuss the use of language and rituals (both their perversion and usual standards, to provide data on the representation of madness) since they express the questioning and acceptance of the social order that characterize the tragic genre.
