This paper aims to examine disease and space in Greek tragedy, building on studies about disease (nósos) and its representations, in an analysis of Sophocles’s Oedipus Tyrannus (427 BCE) in relation to the plague that afflicted Athens between 430 and 426 BCE. Our starting hypothesis is that this plague transformed how Athens perceived their social institutions. This study examines tragic vocabulary and the relations between disease and space developed in the play.
