Description

Aeschylus' Suppliantes are the fifty Danaids, Libyan princesses who refuse a forced marriage and seek political asylum in the Greek city of Argos.
Racine's Berenice recounts the ill-fated love affair between Titus, Emperor of Rome, and Berenice, Queen of Palestine, who are unable to marry because a foreigner is forbidden to rule the Romans. Aeschylus' Oresteia deals, among other themes, with the constraints of the female condition. These works highlight the important role of borders, whether political between states or legal-mental between the sexes. Ralph Schor
