Abstract

The greek tragedy continues being great a referring one of philosophical reflection. Unlike other interpretations, like the Nietzsche, ours it will look for a rational perspective, the one that we discovered through the idea of justice which we deduce of works of Aeschylus. Idea that it has to do with the overcoming of the tragic dilemma, that always contains a rational point, as it is in evidence in all its works, although we will study more in the trilogy The Oresteia and The Suppliants. From we will be there discovering the function of the tragedies like metaphor of democratic education and everything a rich material that, although originating of the past, helps us to understand the present.
