Euripides' shortest tragic work, \u003cem\u003eRhesos\u003c\/em\u003e is unique in lacking a prologue, provoking some scholars to the conclusion that the beginning of the play has been lost.\u003cbr\u003e In this exciting translation, \u003cem\u003eRhesos\u003c\/em\u003e is no longer treated as a derivative Euripidean work, but rather as the tightly-knit tragedy of knowledge it really is. A drama in which profound problems of fate and free will come alive, \u003cem\u003eRhesos\u003c\/em\u003e is also an exploration of the perversion of values that come as the result of war. Charged with a striking immediacy, this play is contemporary in the questions it raises, and eternal in its quest for truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46893624230039,"sku":"9780195072891","price":1153.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195072891.webp?v=1770317681","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/rhesos-9780195072891","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
