Description
Summary:This text discusses some topics of Euripides’ Heracles in parallel with Pindar’s Olympian 12, considering that the latter has remarkable points of contact with the plot and some themes of this tragedy. The main objective of the discussion is to show a striking feature of the Heracles, the use of poetic forms and themes typical of other lyrical genres, especially of the epinician, little productive at the time of composition of this tragedy, but which had in Heracles one of its most recurrent pan-Hellenic heroes.
