Keywords: Alcmeon, Fragmentary tragedy, Euripides, Madness

Abstract

In the present work, I intend to analyze the representation of madness in the two fragmentary tragedies that Euripides dedicated to the Alcmeon saga. Although the fragments preserved do not treat the maniac attacks of the main character, it is possible to contribute to the study of the illness from the data offered about the origin and consequences, especially about the associated crime, which is the matricide. It will be interpreted the fragments preserved in the light of other sources about the same myth and the tragedy that Euripides dedicated to Orestes’ madness, due to the points in common between the two sagas.
