Euripides' Hecuba was sentenced to the very margins of literary attention by Romantic literary theory, which considered its binary structure to be its major fault. It was rehabilitated during the twentieth century; its heroine's search for justice is now considered as the element which connects the action - while the world around her ignores the very fundamentals of Greek ethics, which was built on the idea of reciprocity. The paper discusses some of the interpretative shifts which took place with the development of the classical tradition.
