Abstract

LOPEZ FEREZ, Juan Antonio. On the Presence of éros in Euripides. Nova tellus [online]. 2020, vol.38, n.1, pp.41-77.  Epub June 15, 2020. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2020.38.1.0003.

Érōs, érōtos, of the same root as éramai, recorded in Greek from Homer, with little presence in the Homeric poems, greatly increases the uses in the lyrical ones and is quite used by the tragic ones. Euripides picks it up on 79 occasions: 47, in preserved works, plus 32 in fragments. In this work I will only deal with the examples where it is related to the passion of love or to the god Eros, making a selection of the most relevant passages, translated into Spanish and accompanied by a commentary centered on the revised noun. In our language there is no complete study dedicated to this objective, so it could interest the tragic reader, both in relation to said god and in relation to the passion of love.

Keywords : Érōs; God; Passionate Love; Euripides.
