«Helena» is the Greek tragedy by Euripides and M. Acosta Esteban, published by Editorial Editex in 2004, with 94 pages, in Spanish.
The work revisits the classical myth with a double premise: Helen never reached Troy, but was taken to Egypt, while armies fight over a phantom. Amid misunderstandings and games of appearances, Euripides reflects on identity, fame, and the weight of divine designs.
The edition is from 2004 and consists of 94 pages; the ISBN is 9788468892542 and the corresponding ISBN-10, 8468892548.
A suitable reading for literature students and for those approaching classical 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.
