"Alcestis" is a tragedy by Euripides that tells the story of Alcestis, the devoted wife of King Admetus. When Admetus is destined to die, the gods grant him the option to escape death if someone is willing to die in his place. Alcestis selflessly volunteers, choosing to sacrifice her life for her husband’s. Her noble act inspires deep grief in Admetus, who realizes the true value of his wife's love only after it is too late. The play explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the complexities of human relationships, culminating in the eternal question of loyalty and devotion.
