Teseo y Heracles: algo más que una amistad

on euripides' heracles, the dorian hero kills his family in a fit of madness. once he is aware of what he has done, he decides to commit suicide, but theseus persuades him otherwise. given the peculiarity of this tragedy -in comparison with others that raise the same subject- i will analyse the healing power of the word in heracles' recovery. i will focus on the influence of the sophist movement, particularly the figures of protagoras and gorgias in euripides' work since i consider that the condition to develop a cure using words is the study that the sophists do on the persuasive function of the lógos.
