Abstract

Is infatuation suffered as a disease, according to the Euripidian representation? The answer at this essay is yes. Infatuation is suffered as a disease, mental and physical, of a destructive nature: the result of the internal and external struggle of powers. It was sought to unveil the πάθος, to suffer, from the love represented in Euripides’ Hippolytus and, particularly, in a fragment of it: the κῶμος, song, between Phaedra and Nurse. To achieve this goal, the operation of suffering from love delirium and the elements that are faced were exposed: the extrinsic powers (Artemis and Aphrodite) and intrinsic ones (reason and passion).
