Alcestis And Other Plays by Euripides
And Other Plays
A compact collection of Greek tragedies that probes human passion, moral ambiguity and the clash between mortal duty and divine caprice, centering on stories of self-sacrifice, fierce revenge and shaken social order: one play portrays a devoted wife who willingly dies to spare her husband, another shows a wronged mother driven to an extreme act of vengeance, and others feature shattered families, accusatory choruses and the unsettling interventions of gods, all rendered with powerful dialogue, lyrical choral passages and tragic irony.
