  Article:   LA TRAGÉDIE MORALE DE L’ACTION: D’ORESTE À HORACE / THE MORAL TRAGEDY OF ACTION: FROM ORESTES TO HORACE.

Authors:  ANTOINE SOARE. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  Corneille’s Horace can be seen as a reinterpretation in disguise of Greek tragedies about Orestis, in a French 17th century when it was tacitly forbidden to translate or to adapt these very tragedies. The article analyses the use Corneille makes of similarities between the two subjects in order to get beyond the Ancient’s stand on three distinct issues: the hero’s moral reaction to his heroic crime, the hero’s interaction with the divine will and the hero’s trial.
