Publisher Description In Herakles, Euripides reveals with great subtlety and complexity the often brutal underpinnings of our social arrangements. The play enacts a thoroughly contemporary dilemma about the relationship between personal and state violence to civic order. Of all of Euripides plays, this is his most skeptically subversive examination of myth, morality, and power. Depicting Herakles slowly going mad by Hera, the wife of Zeus, this play continues tohaunt and inspire readers. Hera hates Herakles because he is one of Zeus children born of adultery, and in his madness, Herakles is driven to murder his own wife and children and is eventually exiled, by his ownaccord, to Athens. This new volume includes a fresh translation, an updated introduction, detailed notes on the text, and a thorough glossary. Author Biography Euripides, the youngest of the three great Athenian playwrights, is thought to have written about ninety-two plays, of which seventeen tragedies and one satyr-play have survived.
