Ted Hughes' Alcestis

This is a rather tender and moving play for Euripides, but I especially like this translation by Ted Hughes, widower of Sylvia Plath. Given that this is a play about a wife who offers to die for her husband, I cannot help but think that Hughes had Plath in mind when he translated this play.
