Multiperspektivität ist, was das Drama von anderen Literaturgattungen unterscheidet. Dieses zentrale Merkmal hat in der Erforschung des antiken Dramas aber bis jetzt nicht die Aufmerksamkeit ...erhalten, die es verdient. Dies ändert die vorliegende Studie. Sie entwickelt für den altgriechischen Tragiker Sophokles ein kommunikatives Gesamtmodell und zeigt auf, wie dieser die Darstellung der Kommunikation zwischen den Figuren mit ihren jeweiligen Perspektiven systematisch als Ressource für die Kommunikation mit seinen Rezipienten nutzte. Auf diese Weise gewinnt sie durch sorgfältige Analysen und in intensiver Auseinandersetzung mit existierenden Deutungsansätzen neue Erkenntnisse für das Verständnis dreier bis heute zurecht berühmter, vielfältig rezipierter und in ihrer Deutung umstrittener Tragödien, nämlich des Aias, der Antigone und der Elektra.

In the mid-twentieth century, the American classicist G.M. Kirkwood wrote about the functioning of Sophoclean drama that it depended, more than in the cases of Aeschylus and Euripides, on ‘character ...interaction’.¹ While I am not going to probe the claim concerning Aeschylus and Euripides, I will undertake a reading of a scene of a Sophoclean drama, the prologue of the Ajax (1–133), where I will pay close attention to the way the characters interact, utterance for utterance, and show how intimately the communicative mechanisms that are displayed in the characters’ dialogue are tied up with the functioning of the
