The Sceptic.

Back of this dark philosophy is a
doubt that reaches to the very foun-
dations of life. 1t begins as a skepti,
cism of mythology, resolved to expose
the legends of Greece in all their
brutality and absurdity. Euripides
delights to tell myth so literally
that its incredibility leaps to the eye;
he spares no details of horror to show
the barbaric nature Of these tales
And with persistent subtlety he sug-
gests a rationalistic Interpretation Of
every apparent intervention of the
gods.
In Alcestis we have a miracle ana

F'ates or Furies had decreed the death
OF Admetus, King of Pherae: how
Apollo had prevailed upon them to ac.

else seemed anxious to be sacrificed,

raised her from the dead. How does
Euripides retell the tale?
He sees it first of all as q comedy;

his wife, and burying her within a few
