מידע על הספר הדיגיטלי הזה
Alcestis is an Athenian tragedy by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides. It was first produced at the City Dionysia festival in 438 BC. Euripides presented it as the final part of a tetralogy of unconnected plays in the competition of tragedies, for which he won second prize; this arrangement was exceptional, as the fourth part was normally a satyr play. Its ambiguous, tragicomic tone—which may be "cheerfully romantic" or "bitterly ironic"—has earned it the label of a "problem play." Alcestis is, possibly excepting the Rhesus, the oldest surviving work by Euripides, although at the time of its first performance he had been producing plays for 17 years.
על המחבר
Euripides, born around 480 BCE on the island of Salamis, stands as one of the most influential tragedians of ancient Greece, alongside Aeschylus and Sophocles. His life unfolded during a period of immense cultural and political change, marked by the Peloponnesian War and the rise of Athens as a center of intellectual and artistic activity. Euripides was known for his innovative approach to drama, often focusing on the inner lives and psychological complexities of his characters, which was a departure from the more traditional, heroic portrayals of his contemporaries.Euripides' works frequently challenged societal norms and questioned the gods' morality, reflecting his skeptical and often controversial views on religion and the human condition. His portrayal of strong, complex female characters and his exploration of themes such as madness, revenge, and the darker aspects of human nature were revolutionary for his time and continue to resonate with modern audiences.Despite facing criticism and often finishing last in dramatic competitions, Euripides' influence grew posthumously. His plays have inspired countless adaptations and interpretations, influencing writers from Seneca to Shakespeare, and even modern playwrights. His ability to blend the personal with the universal, the tragic with the philosophical, ensures his enduring legacy in the canon of world literature. Euripides' life and work invite readers to explore the depths of human emotion and the complexities of moral dilemmas, making him a timeless figure in the history of drama.
