Heinrich von Kleists 1808 erschienenes Trauerspiel 'Penthesilea' bearbeitet einen Stoff aus der griechischen Mythologie: das tödliche Zusammentreffen zwischen dem Griechenhelden Achilles und der Amazonenkönigin Penthesilea auf dem Schlachtfeld vor Troja. Kleists grausames Drama bildet ein Gegengewicht zu den idealisierenden Antikevorstellungen seiner Zeit und wurde nach seinem Erscheinen heftig kritisiert und abgelehnt. Mit seinen 24 Auftritten von unterschiedlicher Länge und ohne Akteinteilung folgt Kleists Trauerspiel weder antiken noch zeitgenössischen Vorbildern; zudem nimmt die 'verdeckte Handlung', die über Boten oder Beobachter mitgeteilt wird, einen wesentlich größeren Raum ein als die direkte Handlung. Bis heute bezieht Kleists 'Penthesilea' seine Wirkung aus der Anlage als psychologisches Seelendrama, in der Liebe und Hass, Erotik und Aggression aufs Engste verflochten sind. Text in neuer Rechtschreibung. - Mit Anmerkungen von Hedwig Appelt und Maximilian Nutz.
