A Bit of Father & Son Fighting Over… Who Deserves to Live (Euripides’ Alcestis Part 2)

The eponymous character dies. And then what? The tragicomic play by Euripides that turns everything on its head, and then some.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
