1 de jan. de 2000 · What is the greatest atrocity a man can commit? What do we mean by hero? These are questions in Euripides' Heracles, tackled by Armitage in language that brings the play's contemporaneity into focus, without diminishing its historical portent.
Armitage is the author of five stage plays, including Mister Heracles, a version of Euripides' The Madness of Heracles. The Last Days of Troy premiered at Shakespeare's Globe in June 2014.
Euripides's Heracles is shocking and strange. It begins in defeat and despair, soars into triumph, wavers on a razor's edge of dramatic uncertainty, then plunges into carnage and horror of the darkest kind . . . What is the greatest atrocity a man can commit? What do we mean by hero?

This chapter, which focuses on Archibald MacLeish's Herakles and Simon Armitage's Mister Heracles, investigates the emergence, in late 20th- and early 21st-century stage adaptations of Euripides' text, of a neo-Senecan Herakles and the concurrent identification of a ‘Herakles complex’ in the heroic male psyche.
