Rhesus Book by Euripides (Farsi)

Description

Rhesus is traditionally attributed to Euripides, not Sophocles, and is a lesser-known tragedy set during the events of Homer’s Iliad. The play dramatizes a nocturnal raid by Odysseus and Diomedes into the Trojan camp, where they kill the Thracian king Rhesus and steal his prized horses to weaken the enemy's forces. Unlike other Greek tragedies that focus on divine justice or familial strife, Rhesus is more concerned with military cunning and the shifting fortunes of war. The play highlights the brutality and deception inherent in warfare, casting a critical light on heroism and valor.
