Abstract This text studies the scenarios in which violence appears in ancient Greece, to demonstrate that the purpose of the visibility of violence in the tragic drama, as Jacqueline de Romilly says, is to give a lesson to men through extraordinary stories, that occur in a symbolic world, that speaks to the "generations of men", as we are told in Oedipus Rex (1186), and a destiny where exemplary human condition is reported. The analysis of violence in ancient Greece done in this paper, allows a contrast with the way violence is represented in the contemporary world. The author states that the "unmediated" visibility of violence produces a fracture in the intersubjective link, that is, a fracture in the symbolic link of political articulation.

Keywords : Scenarios; violence; tragedy; greeks; visibility.
