Abstract

Although Euripides is known by the ways he used elements of the Odyssey to depart from the ‘classical” model developed by Sophocles, this paper dwells on different strategies employed by him to engage the audience of his plays with the Iliad, this other canonical poem par excellence in Athens. The focus is how Hector and his funeral are used in Andromache and Trojan women.
