Intertheatricality and Narrative Structure in the \u3ci\u3eElectra\u3c/i\u3e Plays
In this chapter, the author aims to elucidate several moments of intertextuality (or, in Mueller\u27s term, intertheatricality) between Aeschylus and the playwrights who followed him. He begins with the belief that Aeschylus\u27s plays remained so well known throughout the fifth century that any rewriting of the same plot must contain in it some awareness of the earlier text. In particular, the author notes that both Euripides and Sophocles engage in deliberate play with their mobilised literary historical narratives. A much celebrated example is Sophocles\u27 use of the funerary urn in his Electra; the existence of such an urn was suggested briefly by Aeschylus though not seen on stage. By far the best known and most obvious reference to Aeschylus\u27s Libation Bearers takes place in Eurpides\u27 version of the recognition scene
