Euripides, Alcestis, Heracles, Hesiod, myth of PrometheusAbstract
The tragedy Alcestis by Euripides and the Hesiodic myth of Prometheus have two common issues: Heracles as one of the characters and the theme of mortality as human condition. Exploring these two issues and their relationship in this tragedy can show us why Heracles is present in this tragedy, how his presence coheres deeply to the meaning of this tragedy and eventually exploring them can show us the very tragic meaning of this drama.References
