Karelisa V. Hartigan Livres

The actions of Apollo and Artemis motivate the plots of seven Euripidean plays. In these, the themes of ambiguity and self-deception are especially prominent. This book offers an analysis of each of the plays (Alkestis, Hippolytos, Ion, Iphigeneia in Tauris, Elektra, Orestes, and Iphigeneia at Aulis), and focuses primarily upon how these two ideas serve to illustrate the message of Euripides' drama.
