Resumen:
At Athens, both contests at law and in the theater should be analysed as instances of performance. Considered a real ‘literary event’, defined by Heath (1988: 61) as “any ocassion in which a piece of writing is integral to the nature of the participants’ interactions and their interpretive processes”, theatrical spectacles are structured like a jury trial, where a written accusation –the text- is judged by a mass audience in performance (Wills, 2000: 135). The historical and cultural frame becomes an essential implement to deal with this nexus.
