TOWARDS A CULTURAL VICTIMOLOGY OF ATTIC TRAGEDY: EPITHETS OF MISERY IN EURIPIDES' HECUBA.

Modern audiences may be familiar with the word 'victim', but victimological studies have shown that the notion of victimhood, the recognition of a person as a victim, is culturally and historically contingent.

Modern audiences may be familiar with the word 'victim', but victimological studies have shown that the notion of victimhood, the recognition of a person as a victim, is culturally and historically contingent. As a step towards a cultural victimology of Attic tragedy, this article posits that epithets of misery are markers of the undeserved and unjust suffering which often serves as a foundation for the development of victimhood. In order to illustrate how an analysis of epithets of misery can contribute to a victimological reading of an ancient text, the article discusses the use of these epithets in Euripides' Hecuba, the extant Attic tragedy with the highest number of occurrences of such epithets. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Akroterion is the property of Akroterion and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
