«Alcestis» is the Greek tragedy by Euripides, published by Ediciones Clásicas in paperback (64 pages, in Spanish).
In «Alcestis», sacrifice, love and duty intertwine in a dramatic conflict that interrogates the human condition, personal relationships and family and social bonds in Ancient Greece, within a theatrical tradition that combines emotion and moral reflection.
The edition includes the version and adaptation by Amparo Cañizares García; text translated from Greek. Published in March 1999.
For students of classical literature and readers interested in Greek theater.
Euripides was a Greek tragedian of classical Athens. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he is one of the three authors of Greek tragedy whose name is ascribed to surviving plays. Some ancient scholars attributed ninety-five plays to him, but the Suda says it was ninety-two at most. Nineteen plays attributed to Euripides have survived more or less complete, although one of these (Rhesus) is often considered not to be genuinely his work. Many fragments survive from most of his other plays. More of his plays have survived intact than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly because his popularity grew as theirs declined: he became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education, along with Homer, Demosthenes, and Menander.
