Abstract

NELLI, María Florencia. Los conceptos de verdad y falsedad en Filoctetes de Sófocles. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2008, vol.15, pp.95-106. ISSN 0328-1205.

This article aims at exposing the interesting way in which the concepts of , truth, and , falsehood, appear to be used in Sophocles' Philoctetes. By means of analysing the etymology, morphology and semantics of both concepts, their common rapports and arrangement in the play, I would like to call attention to the way in which the play itself depicts both truth and falsehood as human constructions, linguistic artefacts not only incomplete but also relative, subordinate to an ever-changing speech situation.

Keywords : Philoctetes; Tragedy; Truth; Falsehood; Speech; Deceit.
