Abstract

Abstract

Among Sophocles’ and Euripides’ there are some likenesses that connect both plays. These interconnections can be justified by the similarities in the descriptions that are depicted and by the words that link both spaces, which differs from the space depicted by Homer in his description of Cyclops’ cave. In this analysis, the author stresses those elements that connect both characters, Philoctetes and Polyphemus, with the place where they live and the contrast with the civilized world that they confront when Ulysses arrives.
