Synopsis

Epic verse drama about Helen’s burden and the fall of Troy, where beauty meets doom and the gods loom large.

This lyrical tragedy stages Helen’s struggle between fame and guilt as she confronts a city in ruins, the anger of mothers, and the echoes of heroic deeds. Rich with chorus, mythic allusions, and a charged confrontation among iconic figures, it explores how one woman’s beauty reshapes history and conscience.

- A verse drama that threads myth, emotion, and fate
- A chorus-driven journey through love, war, and uterine sorrow
- Intense dialogue between Helen, Hecuba, Paris, and other legendary voices
- Lush, imagery-rich language that fuels dramatic tension

Ideal for readers who enjoy classical tragedy, myth-inspired retellings, and poetic drama.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
