Episode description
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.
Sources: Euripides' Alcestis, found in The Greek Plays, introduction and translation by Rachel Kitzinger.
