Balqadi, Maged Saeed Omar

2022

Overview

Primarily, this study is devoted to exploring key aspects of the Hippolytus myth in Brian Friel's play Living Quarters: after Hippolytus. Additionally, the study seeks to shed light on human relationships as being presented in the ancient myth and its re- visited version in Friel's play in an attempt to present a critical outlook of myth appropriation in the play in question by adopting an interdisciplinary approach due to the fact that the uniqueness of the Greek myth offers new visions and endorses new expressions of universal human truths in addition that the feminist approach is interdisciplinary from the beginning and inclusive of every discipline including major disciplinary approaches such as psychology, archaeology, mythology, etc., and sometimes they are politically dismissed as irrelevant to the ancient cultures though gender is implicit in every theoretical approach and mythology inextricably involves gender system in almost every culture
