Alba Bosca Cuquerella

Alba Bosca Cuquerella is a classical philology faculty member at the Universidad de Valladolid and Universitat de València, specializing in Greek tragedy and rhetorical theory. She holds a doctorate from Universidad de Salamanca (2021) with a thesis on Euripides' use of gnōmai. Her research focuses on ancient Greek literature, particularly Euripides' dramatic techniques, maxims (gnōmai), and their reception in Hellenistic papyri. Recent work includes analyzing Medea's emotional manipulation through gnōmai (2025) and exploring rhetorical violence in Aeschylus' Suppliants (2024). She has published extensively on Euripidean tragedy, Aristophanic comedy, and the evolution of classical maxims in educational contexts.

Her studies often bridge ancient texts with modern analytical methods like conversation analysis and comparative mythology. She investigates how gnōmai function as both moral instruction tools and narrative devices in Athenian drama, with particular attention to their adaptation in later school exercises. Her work highlights Euripides' unique gnomic style and its influence on later literature.
