This is one of Euripides' earliest works (438 B.C.), different in tone though recognisably from the same hand as his later, greater tragedies; and, incidentally, one Greek play with a happy ending.... It deals with Admetus, who tn return for entertaining Apollo on earth is allowed a second life if he can find somebody to die on his s-tead, which his wife, Alcesds, offers to do. It is a bitter tragi-comedy, characteristic in is close BuTipridean observation of human vanity. P.P.
