In Euripides' play we see a very different figure from the Herakles
of popular imagination. In his account of Herakles' maddened
killing of his children, Euripides emphasises the human to the
hero's character, presenting him as a loving father. Herakles is an
ideal text for those new to ancient drama, raising many central
issues of Greek tragedy. Emma Griffiths analyses the key themes and
characters while situating the drama in the wider context of Greek
tragedy and mythology. Euripides' approach to drama is illustrated
through consideration of the hero's self-awareness, and the
reception of the play in later art and literature is discussed as
part of an exploration of the 'universality' of tragedy.
