description: The actions of Apollo and Artemis motivate the plots of seven Euripidean plays. In these, the themes of ambiguity and self-deception are especially prominent. This book offers an analysis of each of the plays ( Alkestis, Hippolytos, Ion, Iphigeneia in Tauris, Elektra, Orestes , and Iphigeneia at Aulis ), and focuses primarily upon how these two ideas serve to illustrate the message of Euripides' drama.
