Last wills have provided Greek Tragedy heroes with the opportunity to express the diversity of the agitated tragic self in articulo mortis. Provided the accomplishment of a sacramental gesture which serves as a defying promise against future uncertainties, they allowed the tragic heroes to exalt the physical self, to prevent dishonoring the plenitude of the latter, as well as to prolong its affections, either directly or indirectly, as in the case of revenge vows, wherein the dying hero becomes a posteriori an acting agent in another subject’s self. The dying hero’s affections may also be prolonged through an act which is prompted by the very ethical demands of a given passion, such as love, which, according to its mytho-ideological definition, makes the loving subject both a self and another.
