Itinerário este que se inicia na Antiguidade, com a trilogia Orestéia, de 458 a.C, composta pelas obras Agamemnon, Coéforas e Eumênides do autor trágico grego, Ésquilo; passa em 1667 pela obra Andromaque de Jean Racine - que mesmo regido pela doutrina clássica, dá aos personagens uma força inovadora que inspira as peças racinianas-; e se encerra com uma nova interpretação à luz da filosofia existencialista, com a obra As Moscas do filósofo francês Jean-Paul Sartre no século XX. O objetivo do trabalho realizado foi de aprimorar o conhecimento sobre as literaturas grega e francesa; compreendendo o berço clássico de onde surgiu a trágica história de Orestes, as mudanças que sofreu sob a influência de autores franceses, e suas diversas interpretações no decorrer da história. / The research aims to present the story of the Greek hero, Orestes, his transformations and different representations through the history of literature. This trajectory, begins in antiquity with the trilogy Oresteia, 458 BC, composed by the works Agamemnon, Eumenides and Coéforas of the Greek tragic author, Aeschylus; it passes in 1667 through the work Andromaque by Jean Racine – that even ruled by the classical doctrine, gives the characters a new force that inspires the racinian pieces of work -; and it ends with a new interpretation by the light of existentialist philosophy, with the piece of work The Flies written by the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre in the twentieth century. The goal of this research was to improve the knowledge of the Greek and French literature; comprising the classic crib where did the tragic story of Orestes, the changes that suffered under the influence of French authors, and their various interpretations during the course of history.

Resumo: Os dramaturgos gregos basearam as suas peças em fatos mitológicos e históricos que receberam uma interpretação trágica. Dentro deste contexto, Jack Richardson, que tem um profundo conhecimento da tragédia Grega, também tenta inserir alguns acontecimentos políticos e históricos que afetam a Civilização Moderna dentro da estrutura do mito de Orestes. Em sua peça, The Prodigal, que está sendo analisada nesta dissertação, ele enfoca a Guerra de Tróia e, como acontece em todas as guerras, os soldados que voltam, como os cidadãos de Argos, são atingidos pelas conseqüências psicológicas de após-guerra de exaustão e fadiga. Na peça citada acima, a dimensão política é fundamental e constitui uma espécie de leitmotiv que sustenta a ação. O autor demonstra um interesse especial pela função política do homem - a estrutura política determina os aspectos sociais e religiosos nesta peça. Em um texto literário, o aspecto político não transporta valor por si só, mas, pode significar um elemento essencial de sua estrutura. Richardson dramatiza a sua teoria de Evolução Histórica em The Prodigal pondo em evidência as razões e circunstâncias que causam a queda de uma Instituição, que não pode manter os seus valores fundamentais contra uma nova mentalidade que emerge. Ele analisa as divergências políticas, a sociologia da família e discute argumentos religiosos, literários e filosóficos, tendo como modelos os personagens da antiga mitologia. O principal objetivo desta dissertação é determinar a teoria de Evolução Histórica de Jack Richardson em The Prodigal. A minha intenção é comparar a peça moderna com a Oréstia de Ésquilo para determinar até que ponto os dois dramaturgos sustentam os mesmos pontos de vista e quais especificamente são as inovações introduzidas por Jack Richardson.

My PhD thesis, The Flower of Suffering, offers a philosophical evaluation of Aeschylus' Oresteia in light of Presocratic ideas. By examining several aspects of the tragic trilogy in relation to some of Aeschylus' near-contemporary thinkers, it aims to unravel the overarching theological ideas and the metaphysical and epistemological assumptions underpinning the Oresteia's dramatic narrative. My aim is to bring to relief those aspects of the Oresteia which I believe will benefit from a comparison with some ideas, or modes of thought, which circulated among the Presocratic philosophers. I will explore how reading some of this tragedy's themes in relation to Presocratic debates about theology and cosmic justice may affect and enhance our understanding of the theological ‘tension' and metaphysical assumptions in Aeschylus' work. In particular, it is my contention that Aeschylus' explicit theology, which has been often misinterpreted as a form of theodicy where the justice of heaven is praised and a faith in the rule of the gods is encouraged, is presented in these terms only to create a stronger collision with the painful reality dramatized from a human perspective. By setting these premises, it is my intention to confer on Greek tragedy a prominent position in the history of early Greek philosophical thought. If the exclusion of Presocratic material from debates about tragedy runs the risk of obscuring a thorough understanding of the broader cultural backdrop against which tragedy was born, the opposite is also true. Greek tragedy represents, in its own dramatic language, a fundamental contribution to early philosophical speculation about the divine, human attitudes towards it, indeed, the human place in relation to the cosmic forces which govern the universe.

This dissertation considers Aeschylus’ Persae and portions of Herodotus’ Histories as attempts to shape memories of the Greco-Persian Wars by invocation of material evidence at very different moments in the fifth century BCE. Given the literary and archaeological nature of our surviving Greek evidence, this consideration is a necessary part of the larger project towards which I work: a history of Persian interactions with Greek sanctuaries during the Greco-Persian Wars. Greek archaeological evidence offers one set of comparative perspectives on these interactions. I attempt to place Aeschylus and Herodotus in dialogue with this evidence in chapters two and three. Herodotus, unlike Aeschylus, depicts respectful Achaemenid behavior at Greek sanctuaries during the Greco-Persian Wars. To contextualize this depiction, I examine earlier sources from the western Achaemenid Empire in chapter four. In so doing, I build on methodology demonstrated in the introductory chapter to consider a second set of comparative perspectives. Close reading of Herodotus in parallel to these sources provides a basis for fully examining types of behavior which have often been explained away in previous scholarship on the historian. Notably, Herodotus’ depiction, unlike our surviving earlier sources from the western Achaemenid Empire, often considers how such behavior relates to more violent aspects of conquest, and as such provides a contrast to these surviving earlier sources. I suggest that this contrast—Herodotus’ depiction of both sacrilege and respectful behavior—can be understood in his historical moment. And yet this suggestion is but a beginning.

Στην παρούσα εργασία στόχος μας είναι να προσεγγίσουμε το μύθο του Φιλοκτήτη στη δραματική μορφή του. Για το σκοπό αυτό θα αξιοποιήσουμε κατά το δυνατόν τις μαρτυρίες αναφορικά με την επική παράδοση, όπως μας σώζονται από πολύ μεταγενέστερες πηγές. Η σχέση ανάμεσα στο έπος και το δράμα είναι πολυεπίπεδη και πολύσημη· ανάμεσα σ’ αυτά τα δύο διακριτά είδη, που λειτουργούν κάποιες φορές σαν συγκοινωνούντα δοχεία, υπάρχει ένα μαγνητικό πεδίο, μια κλίμακα αλληλεπίδρασης που κυμαίνεται από την έλξη ως την άπωση. / --
