Heracles

Euripides' depiction of Herakles' descent into madness is intense and complex. I wonder what cultural or personal influences shaped this portrayal.

The themes of destiny and agency in Herakles felt surprisingly relevant today. How do others interpret Herakles' acceptance of his tragic fate?

Euripides' use of dialogue and monologue creates a powerful atmosphere. I'm curious whether the structure amplifies the tragedy in a way that modern adaptations could explore.
