Alcestis In Plain and Simple English (Translated)
Love, sacrifice, death-and unexpected humor. Alcestis by Euripides isn't your typical Greek tragedy. It's a tale of a woman who gives her life for her husband-and what happens when death doesn't go exactly as planned. The story is powerful, the wit is sharp, and the emotional impact still hits home. The only problem? Ancient Greek plays aren't exactly known for being easy to read.
