''Themistocles, The Lover Of His Country: A Tragedy'' is a play written by Samuel Madden and published in 1729. The play is based on the life of Themistocles, a prominent Athenian statesman and general who played a key role in the Greek victory over the Persian Empire in the Battle of Salamis. The play portrays Themistocles as a hero who loves his country and is willing to do whatever it takes to defend it, even if it means making difficult and unpopular decisions. However, his loyalty to Athens is tested when he is accused of treason and must defend himself against his enemies.Throughout the play, Madden explores themes such as patriotism, loyalty, honor, and justice. The characters are complex and multi-dimensional, with their own motives and desires that drive their actions. Overall, ''Themistocles, The Lover Of His Country: A Tragedy'' is a compelling and thought-provoking play that offers a unique perspective on one of the most important figures in ancient Greek history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
