English translation. This is an extraordinary play filled with affecting human pathos - innovative in its treatment of myth and bold in its dramatic structure. Includes essays on Euripides, performance, and interpretation of Myth; a list of suggested readings, notes, and map. Euripides' Heracles is an extraordinary play, innovative in its treatment of the myth, bold in its dramatic structure, and filled with affective human pathos. The play tells a tale of horror: Heracles, the greatest hero of the Greeks, is maddened by the gods to murder his wife and children. But this suffering and divine malevolence are leavened by the friendship between Heracles and Theseus, which allows the hero to survive this final and most painful labor. The Heracles raises profound questions about the gods and mortal values in a capricious and harsh world.
