N2  - Aeschylus' Suppliants is a very violent play. Assuming that the reason for the flight of fifty maidens who plead asylum in Argos is their fear of suffering sexual violence by their fifty cousins, Aeschylus uses the threat of this type of violence as an essential resource for dramatic purposes. This paper focuses on analysing the expression and staging of suggested violence in two climaxes in Aeschylus' Suppliants: The Danaids' threat of suicide during the supplication and the subsequent attempted abduction by the Egyptians. © 2021 Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
