When theatre began, two and a half millennia ago in ancient Greece, it drew from a well of even older myths, the Epic Cycle. These myths were Europe's first account of the tragedy and comedy of the human enterprise. Stories and characters from the beginning of our imagination inspired John Barton to write the great cycle of human life, Tantalus, an epic theatre myth for the modern age. Its subject is the Trojan War, a crusade which became a catastrophe. Helen of Troy - was she really the cause of this ten-year war? 606 $aTrojan War$vDrama 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTrojan War 676 $a812.54 700 $aBarton$b John$0687295 702 $aSoden$b Oliver 702 $aNunn$b Trevor 702 $aCartledge$b Paul 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910494601903321 996 $aTantalus$92451426 997 $aUNINA
