Description
Heracleidae—more accurately attributed to Euripides rather than Sophocles—is a tragedy that follows the plight of the children of Heracles (the Heracleidae) after the hero's death. Pursued by Eurystheus, the tyrannical king who once oppressed Heracles, the children seek asylum in Athens under the protection of King Demophon. The play dramatizes their desperate bid for sanctuary and the moral dilemma faced by their hosts, who must decide whether to risk war in order to uphold the sacred duty of sheltering the innocent.
