{"product_id":"euripides-ino-smaro-nikolaidou-arampatzi-9780674272552","title":"Euripides' Ino: Commentary, Reconstruction, Text, and Translation","description":"In this groundbreaking study, Smaro Nikolaidou-Arampatzi analyzes the direct and indirect evidence of Euripides' fragmentary play, the \u003ci\u003eIno\u003c\/i\u003e, and reexamines matters of reconstruction and interpretation. This work is a full-scale commentary on Euripides' \u003ci\u003eIno\u003c\/i\u003e, with a new arrangement of the fragments, an English translation in prose, and an extensive bibliography. Nikolaidou-Arampatzi argues that the axial point in the play is Ino's filicide. Hyginus' \u003ci\u003eFabula\u003c\/i\u003e 4, entitled \u003ci\u003eIno Euripidis\u003c\/i\u003e, recounts how, after her forced return from Cithaeron, Euripides' Ino--in a state of Dionysiac madness--participates in the plotting of the jealous Themisto against her own children without being able to recognize them. Ino was the sister of Dionysus' mother Semele, and she was also the primordial nurse of the god, a role that infuriated Hera. In his \u003ci\u003eMedea\u003c\/i\u003e, Euripides refers to Ino as a filicidal woman who, driven mad by Hera, murdered her own children. Nikolaidou-Arampatzi contends, then, that the filicide of Euripides' Ino in a state of mania can be considered as a dramatic prototype by which his filicide Medea would be judged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Smaro Nikolaidou-Arampatzi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674272552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674272552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Smaro Nikolaidou-Arampatzi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965732110591,"sku":"9780674272552","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_203d33b3-3d6b-4d3b-8871-196d13f2a27c.jpg?v=1767284428","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/euripides-ino-smaro-nikolaidou-arampatzi-9780674272552","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
