Helen by Euripides

4.0

---

definitely funniest of eurip's work so far - really hilarious passages when Helen and Menelaus are standing right in front of Theoclymenus and he has no idea that Menelaus is still, in fact, alive, and that the 'burial rite' is all a ruse. Interesting mis-use of a deeply-embedded part of Greek culture (burial rites), and the drowning of the funeral materials to honour sailors lost at sea.
