Alcestis by EURIPIDES (484 BCE - 406 BCE), translated by Gilbert MURRAY (1866 - 1957) • Genre(s): Classics (Greek Latin Antiquity), Tragedy • • Read by: in English • • Chapters: • 00:00:00 - 01 - Part 1 • 00:38:57 - 02 - Part 2 • • Alcestis is the earliest surviving play by Euripides. Alcestis, the devoted wife of King Admetus, has agreed to die in his place, and at the beginning of the play she is close to death. In the first scene, Apollo argues with Thanatos (Death), asking to prolong Alcestis' life, but Thanatos refuses. Apollo leaves, but suggests that a man will come to Pherae who will save Alcestis. Euripides' play is perhaps the most unusual Greek drama ever written: a tragedy that is not a tragedy.
