| Sumario: | This paper analyses three parts of the work in which animals, lively depicted by Aeschylus, play a central role. The goal of this analysis is toprovide possible approaches to understanding what is said by these images concerning the human world depicted by the tragic writer and by their role in the tragic development of the work. The starting point is the famous parodos in which the vultures’ simile appears, whose main figureare Agamemnon and Menelaus (Ag. 40-67); next, it’s the analysis of the prophecy of Calchas, in which Agamemnon and Menelaus, compared this time with eagles, play again central roles. Finally, the focus is set on what Bernard Knox (1952) called the lioncub parable, in which Helenaseems to be the main character (Ag. 717-736). |
