Reperforming the Myth of Phaedra in Greece, 1918-2021

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter explores the reinterpretation and reimagining of the ancient Greek myth of Phaedra within the context of modern Greece, from 1918 to 2021. By examining various theatrical productions, literature, and cultural movements, the author investigates how the tragic narrative of Phaedra—her forbidden love for her stepson Hippolytus and subsequent downfall—has been re-performed and re-contextualized in response to changing political, social, and gender dynamics. Through a historical lens, the chapter highlights how these reinterpretations have engaged with national identity, the evolution of gender roles, and the broader cultural climate of Greece during key periods, including the interwar years, post-World War II reconstruction, and the political upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. The chapter argues that the myth of Phaedra, often a symbol of female desire and guilt, serves as a complex vehicle for exploring the tension between personal agency and societal constraints, offering a lens to reflect on both Greek culture and the universal human condition. By tracing these performances over a century, the study underscores the enduring relevance and malleability of the myth, as it continuously resonates with contemporary issues of power, morality, and the politics of representation.
