dc.description.abstract	In this thesis, the argument is that estrangement plays a major part in the audience perception of three ancient Greek plays – despite Aristotle’s appreciation of ‘acknowledgment’ and ‘recognition’: his view would in fact better suit the modern staging of ancient Greek tragedies than the performance in antiquity. To this end, both secondary literature and primary text on singular and isolated plot elements that may cause estrangement are analyzed. Reversely, these same elements have been analyzed in recent examples of restaging. The conclusion entails that fifth century tragedies were more estranging for the audience back then than for the public of a contemporary re-enactment and that the reflection on the ancient plays through their modern reperformances offers new insights and vice versa.	en_US
