You Could Say She’s Living & She’s Dead, Euripides’ Alcestis (Part 1)

Euripides' Alcestis is a fascinating(ly weird) play that doesn't quite fit the genre of tragedy... Admetus is a man cheating fate, but at a cost.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Sources: Euripides' Alcestis, found in The Greek Plays, introduction and translation by Rachel Kitzinger.
