- Others argue, though, that the woman is not actually Alcestis but a look-alike, meaning that the king truly has broken his vows.

- Alcestis.
- "Alcestis" is the oldest surviving play of Euripides, although he had been writing tragedies for almost twenty years when it was written. ... So while "Alcestis" is a tragedy, it does offer up an unusal happy ending.
- In Greek mythology Alcestis was the daughter of Pelias and wife of Admetus, an Argonaut and the king of Pherae. In Western literature Alcestis is the model wife, for when her husband is to die she alone agrees to die in his place. ... " Euripides adds a key twist in that Alcestis agrees to the sacrifice before she fully understands that her husband will suffer without her. ...
- The story of Alcestis has been addressed by more modern writers from Chaucer and Milton to Browning and Eliot. The sacrifice of Alcestis has also been the subject of several operas. "Alcestis" is not a first rate play by Euripides, but it does represent both his cynicism and his attempt to make the audience confront the problematic elements of its belief system. So while I would not teach "Alcestis" by itself, in conjunction with other play by Euripides, specifically "Ion," it can definitely have value in class.
