What is Rhesos (Greek Tragedy in New Translations) about?
<p><p>the Story Of A Futile Quest For Knowledge, This Ancient Anti-war Drama Is One Of The Neglected Plays Within The Corpus Of Greek Tragedy. Euripides' Shortest Tragic Work, <b>rhesos</b> Is Unique In Lacking A Prologue, Provoking Some Scholars To The Conclusion That The Beginning Of The Play Has Been Lost.<br> In This Exciting Translation, <b>rhesos</b> Is No Longer Treated As A Derivative Euripidean Work, But Rather As The Tightly-knit Tragedy Of Knowledge It Really Is. A Drama In Which Profound Problems Of Fate And Free Will Come Alive, <b>rhesos</b> Is Also An Exploration Of The Perversion Of Values That Come As The Result Of War. Charged With A Striking Immediacy, This Play Is Contemporary In The Questions It Raises, And Eternal In Its Quest For Truth.</p>
