Rhesos - Euripides - Hardcover

The story of a futile quest for knowledge, this ancient anti-war drama is one of the neglected plays within the corpus of Greek tragedy. Euripides' shortest tragic work, Rhesos is unique in lacking a prologue, provoking some scholars to the conclusion that the beginning of the play has beenlost. In this exciting translation, Rhesos is no longer treated as a derivative Euripidean work, but rather as the tightly-knit tragedy of knowledge it really is. A drama in which profound problems of fate and free will come alive, Rhesos is also an exploration of the perversion of values that come asthe result of war. Charged with a striking immediacy, this play is contemporary in the questions it raises, and eternal in its quest for truth.Euripides is the author of 'Rhesos - Euripides - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780195020496 and ISBN 0195020499.
