This paper takes into consideration all the attestations of arete referred to women within Euripides' extant production. This enquiry allows us to outline two different uses of the word, depending on the playwright's artistic needs: a concrete one, related to traditional ethics and influenced by contemporary philosophy, and an abstract one, related to traditionally male heroism.
