Of interest to students of drama, ancient history and the Classics, this video recreates the ethos of Greek life and religion. Traditional elements of Greek theatre are effectively used to present this archetypal tale of familial and divine jealousies and rivalries.
A booklet containing a very detailed introduction and text accompanies the video. The introductions are aimed at the teacher and provide an analysis of tragedy itself as well as this play in particular.
