Description
Alcestis is a medieval Athenian tragedy written by the ancient & classical Greek playwright Euripides. Alcestis was first produced at the City of Dionysia festival in 438 BCE. Euripides presented the medieval Athenian tragedy Alcestis as the final part of a tetralogy of unconnected plays in the literature & fiction competition of tragedies, for which he won second prize. Alcestis employs both tragic and comic elements and thus the categorization of Alcestis has been the subject of debate among literary critics. In the play's prologue, the god Apollo comes out from Admetus' palace in Pherae, dressed in white and carrying his golden bow, with the intention of leaving to avoid becoming stained by the imminent death of Alcestis, who is being comforted within. He offers an exposition of the events leading up to this moment. Alcestis is literature & fiction, whether the medieval drama & play is categorized as tragedy or satyr, it will always be deemed as an ancient & classical work by Euripides.
