Book Overview
Timoleon: A Tragedy is a play written by Benjamin Martyn in 1730. The play is based on the historical figure of Timoleon, a Greek general who liberated the city of Syracuse from tyranny in the 4th century BC. The play follows Timoleon's journey as he navigates political intrigue and personal conflict in his quest to bring freedom to Syracuse. The play is written in the style of a classical tragedy, with themes of honor, duty, and sacrifice. Martyn's use of language and poetic verse adds to the dramatic tension of the play, making it a compelling read for those interested in classical literature and historical drama. Overall, Timoleon: A Tragedy is a powerful exploration of the human condition, and a testament to the enduring appeal of Greek tragedy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
