Abstract

Tragic emotion, embodied by the character of Phaedra in the Euripides play, has its origin in the problematic relationship between freedom and destiny. Such tension is enriched with fresh nuances in the rewritings of the Euripides play by Racine and Unamuno. This article analyzes the relationship between freedom and destiny from a Christian point of view, and explores the Apollonian and Dionysian as common elements present in the three versions of the myth.
