Shakespeare's tragic plays include Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, Othello, Macbeth, and Hamlet. Other classical tragedies include Euripides' Alcestis, The Medea, Hippolytus and The Heracleidae.
Hercules saved Alcestis as a demonstration of his heroic qualities and friendship. When he learned that Alcestis was to die in place of her husband, Admetus, Hercules was moved by her selflessness and the grief of Admetus. He intervened by wrestling with Death, ultimately bringing Alcestis back to life. This act not only showcased his strength but also highlighted the themes of loyalty and sacrifice in Greek mythology.
