The Horatii: A Tragedy is a play written by Ichabod H. Wright and published in 1846. The play is set in ancient Rome and revolves around the story of the Horatii, three brothers who are selected to fight against three brothers from the neighboring city of Alba. The outcome of the battle will determine the fate of the two cities. The play explores themes of loyalty, duty, and sacrifice as the Horatii brothers struggle with their obligation to their city and their love for their sister, who is engaged to one of the Alba brothers. The play also delves into the political and social tensions between the two cities, highlighting the complexities of war and the human cost of conflict.Wright's writing is characterized by its poetic language and vivid imagery, which bring the ancient world to life. The play is a classic tragedy, with a sense of inevitability and a tragic ending that leaves the audience with a sense of catharsis. Overall, The Horatii: A Tragedy is a compelling and thought-provoking play that explores timeless themes of love, duty, and sacrifice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
