Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Return of Odysseus: A Greek Choric Play in Two Continuous Acts Separated by an Interlude of Visions This play, while suited to the stage of the regular theatre, is especially intended for performance in the open air, particularly within the stadia of our universities. All but two of the speaking characters being women, it is peculiarly adapted to the requirements of women´s school and colleges. Unlike the plots of the original Greek dramas, the story of the play is familiar to all persons possessing a good education in English alone, and the passions depicted, patriotism and comradeship, and love in all its natural aspects - between husband and wife, parent and child, mistress and maid, as well as between man and woman - appeal no less to the modern than to the ancient mind. Motives such as incest and matricide, which were favorites with the Greek populace, but which are abhorrent to people of the present day, are entirely omitted, and the doctrines of the hybris, pride, and of nemesis, its punishment, while these have been introduced as the essential religious elements of Greek drama, are paraphrased, as it were, so that the ancient theological aspect of the "sin" is obliterated in the universal ethical aspect. For dramatic as well as moral reasons this treatment may be justified. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
