After providing a critical perspective on the ongoing scholarly dialogue regarding narratology and drama, this book uses the former as a working tool for the study and interpretation of the latter. The Phoenissae is approached as a coherent narrative unit and issues like the use of myth, narrators, intertext, time and space are discussed in detail. It is within these contexts that the play is seen as a Theban mythical ‛thesaurus' both exploring previous mythical ramifications and making new additions. The result is rewarding: Euripides constructs a handbook of the Theban saga that was informative for those mythically untrained, fascinating for those theatrically demanding, but also dexterously open upon each one's reception.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46870337126551,"sku":"9783110245929","price":15165.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783110245929.webp?v=1769996647","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/narrative-intertext-and-space-in-euripides-phoenissae-9783110245929","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
