By John Benson Rose

Book Overview

Greek Dramas V2 is a book that contains four Greek tragedies: Iphigeneia In Aulis, The Choephoroi, The Eumenides, and Iphegeneia In Tauris. These plays were written by the ancient Greek playwrights Aeschylus and Euripides. The book was compiled and edited by John Benson Rose and was first published in 1872. The plays deal with themes such as family, justice, revenge, and the power of the gods. Iphigeneia In Aulis tells the story of a Greek king who sacrifices his daughter to the goddess Artemis to ensure a safe journey to Troy. The Choephoroi follows the story of Orestes, who seeks revenge for his father's murder. The Eumenides explores the theme of justice and the power of the Furies, while Iphegeneia In Tauris tells the story of Iphigeneia's escape from a barbarian king. The book provides a glimpse into ancient Greek drama and storytelling, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in literature, theater, or ancient history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
