En la tragedia griega antigua, a menudo se representa el dolor físico de los cuerpos masculinos. Sin embargo, hay solo unos pocos ejemplos de cuerpos femeninos que sufren. Incluso en Eurípides, las heroínas trágicas rara vez o nunca se refieren a su angustia somática. En el corpus de Eurípides, este dolor es narrado por Mensajeros masculinos y femeninos. Estos Mensajeros de Alcestis, Medea y Hécuba describen con gran detalle los gestos y los semblantes de las heroínas en el dolor. Se presta especial atención a la piel de estas mujeres que sufren. Este artículo examina los gestos de estas heroínas sufrientes como respuestas a fuentes físicas de dolor, como el tormento por la acumulación excesiva de fluidos debajo de la piel, el consumirse de la piel y la carne por la acción del veneno y la perforación de la piel con objetos cortantes.
