Euripides' Alcestis By Michael R. Halleran Euripides' Alcestis is a timeless Greek tragedy that explores the themes of love, sacrifice, and the fragility of life. The story centers on Alcestis, the devoted wife of Admetus, who volunteers to die in his place when no one else will. Her selfless act is a poignant portrayal of love's power and the human condition's complexities. As Alcestis fades, Admetus is torn between his gratitude and overwhelming guilt. Just as all seems lost, the arrival of the hero Heracles offers a glimmer of hope. This new translation offers a profound meditation on the value of life, the depth of marital devotion, and the ultimate cost of love. |

Liber Memorialis
Edited and Directed by Molly Swetnam-Burland
The Liber Memorialis or “Memory Book” is a short work, written in Latin, of uncertain date, but belonging to the later Roman imperial period (c. 200 CE – 3rd century CE). The author identifies himself as Lucius Ampelius. He addresses the work to a child named Macrinus: “Since you desire to know everything, I have written this book as an aid to your memory, so that you can learn about what the world is, what the elements are, and what the human race has accomplished.” This work, along with a few others roughly contemporary in date, are among the first extant works of literature specifically written for children. The Liber Memorialis thus offers us an unparalleled opportunity to investigate what children were interested in, what kinds of knowledge they were expected to acquire and be able to produce, and how authors might craft prose that was both useful and intelligible to them. Our goal is to offer a new translation, in English, accessible to scholars and children alike.
