Abstract
PERCZYK, Cecilia J.. The representation of Dionysus in Lycurgeia trilogy of Aeschylus. Nova tellus [online]. 2022, vol.40, n.2, pp.11-36. Epub Aug 29, 2022. ISSN 0185-3058. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2022.40.2.0021x51.
Abstract: My purpose in this paper is to analize the trilogy Lycurgeia of Aeschylus in order to provide an insight into the characterization of Dionysus in the tragic genre. The extant fragments describe his androgynous appearance and the effects of his arrival in Thracia. Other sources on the same myth will be included; particularly I will focus on Euripides’ Bacchae, because of its links with the myth of Pentheus.
Keywords : Aeschylus; fragments; Lycurgeia; Dionysus.
