By Alfred Bate Richards

Book Overview

""Croesus, King of Lydia: A Tragedy in Five Acts"" is a play written by Alfred Bate Richards that tells the story of Croesus, the wealthy and powerful king of Lydia, who is brought down by his own hubris and the machinations of the gods. The play is set in ancient Greece and explores themes of fate, power, and the consequences of one's actions. As the play unfolds, Croesus becomes increasingly arrogant and overconfident, believing himself to be invincible and untouchable. However, his hubris leads him to make a fatal mistake, and he is ultimately brought low by his own actions. The play is a powerful exploration of the human condition and the dangers of unchecked ambition, and is sure to captivate readers with its gripping storyline and compelling characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
