Hyginus' \u003cem\u003eFabula\u003c\/em\u003e 4, entitled \u003cem\u003eIno Euripidis\u003c\/em\u003e, recounts how, after her forced return from Cithaeron, Euripides' Ino—in a state of Dionysiac madness—participates in the plotting of the jealous Themisto against her own children without being able to recognise them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIno was the sister of Dionysus' mother Semele, and she was also the primordial nurse of the god, a role that infuriated Hera. In his \u003cem\u003eMedea\u003c\/em\u003e, Euripides refers to Ino as a filicidal woman who, driven mad by Hera, murdered her own children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNikolaidou-Arampatzi contends, then, that the filicide of Euripides' Ino in a state of mania can be considered as a dramatic prototype by which his filicide Medea would be judged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47462946078956,"sku":"9780674272552","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780674272552-euripides-ino.jpg?v=1775025935","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/euripides-ino-by-smaro-nikolaidou-arampatzi-9780674272552","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
