Abstract
This paper focuses on some juridical and political aspects of the Athenian theater, with specific attention to three voting scenes (in Aeschylus’ Suppliants and Eumenides and Sophocles’ Ajax). The author examines the meaning attributed in the tragedy to the vote itself, with the different result that occurs in those three scenes: unanimous or majority decision, parity of votes.
