About this book

An Introduction to the History and Civilization of Greece from the Coming of the Greeks to the Conquest of Corinth by Rome in 146 B.C. The spirit of a nation is expressed and its history is recorded in three ways: in its political history, in its literature and in its art. The aim of this book has been to use such parts of the political history of the Greeks, of their literature and of their art as seem to have been the outward and visible signs of the spirit that inspired them. - Summary from the subtitle and preface Cast list for the play in Pt 2 Ch 14: Iphigenia: WendyKatzHillerOrestes, her brother: nzk13Pylades, friend to Orestes: Greg GiordanoThoas, King of Tauris: Alan MapstoneA Herdsman: hmpeckerA Messenger: Andrew GaunceChorus Leader: Devorah AllenChorus Member: BookBardAthena: elmachinaNarrator: TriciaG
