Alkestis is a moving \"romance\" with death; it has parallels to Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. Helen, an alternative version of the tragic portrayal of the Trojan War, shows Helen \"relocated in a delightful comedy\" (Observer) - as an innocent victim of her own beauty, hidden in Egypt by the gods while her image has been abducted by Paris. In Ion, a father who thought he was childless discovers his son, and a son who thought he was motherless finds his mother.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780413716200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Methuen Drama","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40593329914062,"sku":"9780413716200","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_a7507d93-3e0b-46c9-b765-77f4bda79ddf.jpg?v=1637786584","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780413716200","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
