moreEuripides’ "Andromache" and "Iphigenia in Aulis "became extremely relevant in west drama arts, because of the success of Racine’s versions in the 17th century. Therefore, I shall study how Euripides’ myth, through Racine, arrives into the Spanish literature and writers. To achieve that, I will outline the Spanish translations, version and recreations from the 18th century. I will focus on Margarita Hickey’s translation (1759), Clavijo y Fajardo’s lost Andromache (after 1770) –a translation from Racine’s one–, Pedro de Silva’s adaptation "Al amor de madre no hay afecto que le iguale" (circa 1764), that became a «heroic comedy» and Manuel Lassala’s «lyrical scene» "Andromaca" (1788).
