Zur verbalen Gestaltung des fiktiven Schauplatzes in der attischen Tragödie des 5. Jhs. v.Chr.

Abstract: 

This article engages the question of how to use the so-called “verbal setting” in Greek tragedy during the 5th century BC. On the basis of three plays — Philoctetes, Oedipus at Colonus and Ion — it explains the extent to which this litera­ry concept influences directorial application and what effect it has on the scenic features and the audience.
