Timoleon: A Tragedy is a play written by Benjamin Martyn and first published in 1730. The play is set in ancient Greece and tells the story of Timoleon, a Corinthian general who leads a rebellion against the tyrant of Syracuse, Dionysius the Younger. Timoleon is torn between his duty to his country and his love for his wife, Cleora, who is held captive by Dionysius. The play explores themes of love, duty, honor, and betrayal as Timoleon must navigate the complex political landscape of ancient Greece to achieve his goals. Martyn's play is known for its poetic language and vivid descriptions of ancient Greek life and warfare. It was well-received by audiences in the 18th century and is still studied and performed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
