Ifigenie. La creazione di un personaggio tragico, da Eschilo, a Sofocle, a Euripide

Every character in ancient Greek theatre has its own theatrical history, which is always connected to how each character was first portrayed on stage. Indeed, a similar process can be observed for Iphigenia: Sophocles and Euripides developed their versions bearing in mind Aeschylus’ Iphigenia. This paper analyses the four points ancient Greek actors considered relevant in the performance of a character (φωνή, ἐσθής, γνώμη, σχήματα) and highlights the connection each character had to establish with a specific myth. By focusing on these dramaturgical elements, it is possible to study the theatrical development of the persona of Iphigenia from Aeschylus to Euripides.
