Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a dramatic poem titled 'Timoleon' with a detailed historical preface to set the stage for the play. The poem follows Timoleon, a noble Corinthian general, as he grapples with the aftermath of fratricide. Having slain his brother in an act of self-defense, Timoleon is haunted by Furies who torment him with visions of his crime and the guilt of matricide. His mother, Demariste, curses him, deepening his despair. Despite his suffering, Timoleon is determined to redeem himself, leading an army to liberate Sicily from tyranny. The book explores themes of justice, revenge, and the human capacity for both good and evil. Timoleon emerges as a complex and tragic figure, torn between his desire for justice and the consequences of his actions. Ultimately, the book offers a profound meditation on the human condition and the nature of heroism.
