Abstract

ENCINAS REGUERO, M. Carmen. Teoría retórica y retórica del error en la Electra de Sófocles. Argos [online]. 2009, vol.32, n.1, pp.65-84. ISSN 1853-6379.

It is not a minor matter in Sophocles' Electra, the implicit presence of a continuously questioned rhetorical theory. It is through the faults made by the characters, especially Electra, on the interpretation of rhetorical proofs which are voluntarily manipulated, that the author urges us to a deep reflection. This reflection influences the significance of rhetoric and of its different kind of proves as well as the difficulty of human beings to understand the world surrounding them. Moreover, it concretely affects the interpretation of this tragedy and its message.

Keywords : Greek tragedy; Sophocles; Electra; Rhetoric; Argumentation.
