La tragedia di Eschilo. Testo, ipotesti, performance Atti del Convegno Internazionale (Pisa, 1-2 ottobre 2025)

The study of Aeschylus’ tragedy requires the integration of diverse and complex skills: textual criticism, literary criticism, performance studies, historical-anthropological approaches, and analysis of ancient and modern reception. The research group members of the 2022 PRIN project dedicated to Aeschylean tragedy some of these lines at the international conference held in Pisa on October 1-2, 2025, whose proceedings this volume collects. Among the topics addressed: the Aeschylean conception of language, various aspects of the Libation Bearers (Electra’s role and ritual texture of the first episode), a group of possibly Aeschylean adespota fragments, mythic geography in Prometheus Bound , metaphorical landscapes in the Suppliants , the link between Aeschylean diction and previous archaic lyric models, some typical Aeschylean figures of repetition, the development of Iphigenia’s character in the major tragedians. The interdisciplinary dialogue illuminates Aeschylus’ dramaturgical evolution, emphasizing intertextuality and performative staging.
