A Study of Words Relating to Youth and Old Age in the Plays of Euripides and Its Special Implications for Euripides'"Suppliant Women."

Thury, Eva M.

Computers and the Humanities, v22 n4 p293-306 1988

This study focuses on imagery of youth and old age in the plays of Euripides, especially the "Suppliant Women," considering frequently used words in each play according to formula developed by Pierre Guiraud. Identifies a motif, the rejuvenation theme, in several of Euripides' plays. Shows how the word "neos" (new, young) helps Euripides contrast two different kinds of youth. (GEA)
