Time Holds the Mirror
A Study of Knowledge in Euripides' Hippolytus.
Series:
Mnemosyne, Supplements, Volume: 102
Author: Cecelia Eaton Luschnig
The work is limited to the question of knowledge in Euripides' Hippolytus and seeks to show that one of the major themes of the Hippolytus, as of the Oedipus, is knowledge.
In successive chapters these subjects are treated: (1) the witness theme, seeing and knowing, what the senses reveal; (2) fantasies of other worlds created by the characters and how these fantasies reavel the character's perceptions of the world; (3) how Euripides causes his characters to become aware of the shifting meanings of words and how it happens that one statement and its opposite can be predicated of the same individual or act; (4) the desire for and fear of knowledge and the choice of ignorance; (5) the use of generalization as a kind of ignorance; (6) the relation of the character's knowledge to that of the audience.
The work offers a new perception of the drama through a detailed examination of this important question that was so warmly debated among the early Sophists.
