Corneille, Tome 07" by Pierre Corneille is a collection of plays written during the 17th century. This volume includes the tragedy "Agésilas," which explores themes of love, ambition, and political intrigue set against the backdrop of ancient Sparta. The audience follows the titular character, Agésilas, as he navigates complex relationships and power dynamics, particularly involving other prominent figures like Lysander and various royal suitors. The opening of the tragedy introduces the characters Elpinice and Aglatide, daughters of Lysander, as they discuss their impending marriages to kings. The dialogue highlights Aglatide's ambition for a royal match, contrasting with Elpinice’s more pragmatic views on love and duty. The characters express their feelings and expectations regarding their suitors, Cotys and Spitridate, revealing underlying tensions and desires as political motives intertwine with personal affections. This sets the stage for the unfolding drama, as both love and duty will play crucial roles in the decisions that the characters will face. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
