Présentation de l'éditeur
In front of the palace of Sisyphus. Before the closed doors is a platform, raised a few feet above the level of the stage. In the street below, and on the broad stone steps leading down to it,groups of men and women are sitting and standing. It is early dawn when the curtain rises, and becomes continually lighter during the following chorus?) CHORUS. Light dawns; the pale stars waste; The night is dead :Y et Sisyphus still lives. OD eath, Death! Hither, we pray thee, haste To his death-bed. Haste, oh haste thee hither, Death! Stone-dead, the proverb saith, Hath no fellow. Moan by moan, Gasp by gasp, groan by groan, Ojust, benign and holy Death, Draw thou forth his sinful breath, Till he lieth cold as stone. Thanatos, Ojust Thanatos! Oh delay not; hither haste thee, That this Sisyphus, the tyrannous, the abominable, Thou may st carry to Acheron away with thee! Haste, oh haste thee hither, Death! Stone-dead, the proverb saith, Hath no fellow: then haste thee, Death. (T he central doors of the palace open, and SISYPHUS is carried out on a couch by slaves, and set down on the platform. MEROPE, SlNON, and several courtiers, enter and range themselves at a little distance belmid and on each side of Sisyphus.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an extract from a play by the author, explores the power dynamics between humans and gods in an ancient world where Sisyphus, a cunning mortal, outsmarts the gods by trapping Death in a coffin. The author delves into philosophical themes such as the inevitability of death, the limits of human power and the nature of divine authority. The author's writing is full of wit and irony, reflecting the cleverness and audacity of Sisyphus, a character who challenges the established order and raises questions about the nature of existence. In a world where the gods are losing their power and humans are beginning to assert their own authority, this book offers a unique and thought -provoking exploration of the relationships between mortals and immortals, and the nature of power itself. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
