Filottete in scena : risonanze emotive e partitura ritmica

In Philoctetes Sophocles composes with mastery the emotional language of the protagonist and designes a rhythmical structure for the different moods, enhancing the expressive potential of the interaction between word and meter. In this work we analyze the forms of versification – extra metrum, antilabe, non-lyrical and lyrical meters – of some significant sections that are useful to better reconstruct and understand the winding and dramatic path assigned by Sophocles to Philoctetes.
