We're on a role talking about unique and fascinating Euripidean women, so following Iphigenia Among the Taurians and revisiting the Helen, we're left with the most bizarre story of them all, the Alcestis, a woman who agrees to die for her husband, an absolute [insert very specific British curse word here], only to be saved by Heracles once he's wrestled death. The perfect tragicomedy to end the year. This is all three parts of the episodes covering Euripides' Alcestis. 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.
