Abstract


From the standpoint of the elements that link fifth-century tragedy with rhetoric and sophistic, it is possible to analyse the Euripides drama. In this sense, Troades, written around 415 b.C, offer the possibility to frame their agones inside the structure of dissoi logoi, through which the tragic characters argues their causes. The aim of this paper is to examine the Helens’ speech and the strategy of defense she performed in face of her accusers Hecuba and Menelaus, modelled through the ethos and inuentio.
