Voices and Echoes of Early Greek Philosophy
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Voices and Echoes of Early Greek Philosophy

Abstract

The scenic space of tragedy, which draws a clear boundary between the visible interior and the invisible exterior, and which turns every speech and action into a public event through the almost continuous presence of the chorus, opens up - if only by its material composition - the possibility of reflecting on the consistency of the political space: how does it hold together if it is permanently subjected to the pressure of a human or divine externality which imposes action, and if the collective body that is supposed to recall its norms, traditions and history (the chorus) is itself undermined by this intrusion? By presenting two equal kings on either side of the city wall, the two sons of Oedipus, Eteocles and Polynices, whose unsolvable quarrel over political share forces to wage war against each other, without recourse to any third party because of the paternal curse that condemns them, Aeschylus methodically puts in place the elements of an analysis of power, justice and political language. The study will attempt to define the orientation of this reflection, which is not exhausted by any conceptual systematization.
