The pleas
Original title: Las suplicantes
Synopsis
The pleas are based on the mythical theme of the aversion of the fifty daughters of Danae to marry the fifty sons of Egypt. Esquilo makes of the fifty maidens women who, attached to their virginity, hate men and oppose marriage and the perpetuation of life, thus lacking the law imposed on them by nature. This attitude underlies the deep sense of tragedy, on which the lyrical values are imposed above the dramatic ones.
