| Video Discription | Alcestis. By Euripides. Audiobook Alcestis is a powerful and moving tragedy by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides. It tells the story of King Admetus of Pherae, who was granted the extraordinary gift of life beyond his appointed time by the god Apollo. However, this gift came at a terrible price: Admetus's wife, Alcestis, must willingly give up her life in his place. The play opens with Apollo's servant recounting the story of how Apollo saved Admetus from death by tricking the Fates. He then tells of Alcestis's selfless sacrifice and her impending death. In the palace, Admetus mourns the loss of his beloved wife. His father, Pheres, arrives, expressing his own grief and anger at Alcestis's decision. Admetus lashes out at his father for his lack of compassion, accusing him of cowardice and selfishness. As Alcestis prepares for her death, she delivers a moving speech to her children, urging them to obey their father and remember her sacrifice. She also addresses Admetus, expressing her love for him and reminding him of his duty to cherish their children and live a virtuous life. The arrival of the god Heracles, Admetus's friend, provides a brief respite from the tragedy. Heracles is unaware of Alcestis's sacrifice and is warmly welcomed by Admetus. The play reaches its climax as Thanatos, the god of death, arrives to claim Alcestis's soul. Heracles, hearing of Alcestis's plight, engages Thanatos in a fierce battle, eventually overpowering him and rescuing Alcestis. Alcestis is restored to life, and the play ends with a celebration of her miraculous return and the reconciliation between Admetus and his father. Euripides' Alcestis is a complex and thought-provoking play that explores themes of love, sacrifice, grief, and the nature of life and death. It is a powerful reminder of the enduring power of love and the sacrifices that we are sometimes willing to make for those we love.
