Reminiscencias de la Orestea en la obra de Hélène Cixous

Currently, Hélène Cixous is one of the greatest exponents of the feminist current of the XXI century. Her innovative theory has given rise to concepts like feminine writing or phallocentrism. However, we find numerous references to the Greco-Latin literature in all his writings. In the present study we aim to take a close look to the literary work from a new standpoint, putting aside the feminist content. To carry out this, we will focus on those aspects that the author retrieves from the Greek literature (specifically, from the Orestea), uses and reconverts in the following books: La jeune née, Les Euménides and La Ville parjure ou le réveil des Erinyes.
