Similes, Euripides, female charactersAbstract
This work is focused on a study of similes that describe female characters in Euripidean drama, in order to examine what aspects of these figures are presented in similes and if they cohere with the traditional image of them in the myth and the role in the play. Discrepancies between simile and behaviour have been founded in Electra’s and Helen’s characters, and in the bacchantes.
