 CLAS3135 Greek Tragedy: Euripides Hecabe
No dominant central figure (as Ajax, Heracles): powerless captives (Hecabe, Polyxena) and those with power over them (Odysseus, Agamemnon)—but consider role-reversals: the powerless take control of their fate (in different ways), the powerful are constrained by difficult situations.
Hecabe’s initiative: the ‘dangerous woman’ stereotype is reinforced by 886-7: the daughters of Danaus (see Aeschylus Suppliants) and the Lemnian women (see e.g.

 Medea and Other Plays: Medea, Hecabe, Electra, Heracles - By: Philip Vellacott - Christianbook.com
The last of three great Athenian dramatists, and during his lifetime perhaps the most controversial, Euripides was the first playwright to use the chorus as a commentator; the first to put contemporary language into the mouths of heroes; and the first to interpret human suffering without reference to the wisdom of gods.
Reading plays such as these, it is not difficult to appreciate Aristotle's admiration of him as the most "tragic" of the Greek poets.

Interesting aspects: From a distance, this butterfly along with other small yellow butterflies are often confused with the very common
hecabe differs from the latter butterfly in being slightly larger and having the broad fl apical and terminal margin to the forewing above, continuous to the inner margin (dorsum) of the forewing.
The extent of the upperside hindwing fl edge, and the brown spotting on the wing undersides is variable, and is usually due to seasonal variation between the cool winter (dry) and hot summer (wet) seasons.
