Synopsis

Merope is a renowned tragic play by Scipione Maffei, an influential Italian writer and historian of the 18th century. First performed in 1713, the play draws upon classical Greek themes and conventions, presenting a compelling drama of maternal love, revenge, and political intrigue. Set in ancient Messenia, the story revolves around Merope, a widowed queen who seeks vengeance against the tyrant Polifonte, who murdered her husband and son. The play is celebrated for its elegant language, powerful emotional impact, and skillful adaptation of classical dramatic principles for a contemporary Italian audience. Maffei's "Merope" remains a significant work in the history of Italian theater, demonstrating the enduring appeal of classical themes in European literature.
