Abstract

GALLEGOS, Luciana. Eurydice’s ὀργή in Euripides’ Hypsipyle: An Angry and Judicious Female Experience. Nova tellus [online]. 2025, vol.43, n.1, pp.13-34.  Epub May 23, 2025. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2025.43.1/071s00x24w61.

The aim of this article is to analyze the anger that Eurydice experiences against the protagonist due to the death of her son in Hypsipyle. The involuntariness of the decease, a decisive aspect in the Aristotelian analysis of ὀργή in Rhetoric, is considered by the queen in the second episode after listening to Amphiaraus’ testimony in favor of Hypsipyle. According to Aristotle’s Rhetoric, Eurydice should depose her anger when she verifies the accidental nature of her son’s death.

Keywords : Euripides; Hypsipyle; Eurydice; Anger; Trial.
