Summary
In this paper, I will examine how Aeschylus Clytemnestra, as the earliest example of a female character subverting gender expectations, becomes a model for this type of character in both tragedy and comedy. While there are many instantiations of this character type, I will focus my attention on the figures of Euripides Hecuba and Aristophanes Lysistrata. By reading Clytemnestra as the model behind these women, we are better able to understand these transgressive women and the plays in which they perform.
