Arsaces: A Tragedy is a play written by William Hodson in 1775. The play is set in ancient Parthia and revolves around the story of Arsaces, the king of Parthia, who falls in love with a captive princess named Mandane. However, Mandane is already engaged to another man, and her father, the king of Bactria, refuses to let her marry Arsaces. The play explores themes of love, jealousy, and power as Arsaces struggles to win the heart of Mandane and maintain his position as king. The play is written in the style of classical tragedy and features a cast of characters that includes nobles, warriors, and slaves. Hodson's Arsaces: A Tragedy is considered to be one of the earliest examples of English literature to draw inspiration from ancient Persian culture and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
