With Alcestis we encounter Greek tragedy in one of its Euripidean versions: serious events and comic happenings interlace and weave a most mysterious analysis of human responses to death, to marriage and to myth. Since the text has no long choruses it is a wonderful introduction to Greek Tragedy for students with little experience in Greek.
