Abstract

From its origins in Greece and until our days, rhetoric has articulated the discourse about power and the relations between states as an instrument when it comes to create consensus or to justify imperialistic policies.

In the present article we are going to analyze some of the terms in which this discourse was offered and the dilemmas to which they gave rise in the Greek suppliants’ tragedies.
