• Resumen

  • In this paper we analyse the interest revealed by ancient theatre shown in the uses of writing. More specifically, we focus on the tragic representations of women in relation to the different devices of communication. Firstly, we tentatively consider the representation of Deyanira as a reflective woman involved in the untangling of messages that she reads and responds to in her own female and tragic ways; secondly, we explore the theatrical effects of the letter that lphigenia in Tauris has had written and kept with her until she reveals it both to Pylades and Orestes; thirdly, we glean from the "Tereus" by Sophocles the inextricable links between weaving and wntíng as a means of communication, especially under the constraínts of mate physícal violence and barbarian alienation; finally, we draw our attention to Phaedra, who makes use of writing in order to put an irrefutable end to discussion. A final consideration is made about the choral stasimon of Euripides' "Medea", where the Corinthian women sing of a possible female tradition of poetry in response to men's.
