A Tragedy (1823)

Sardanapalus: A Tragedy is a play written by George Gordon Byron, also known as Lord Byron, and published in 1823. The play is based on the historical figure of Sardanapalus, the last king of Assyria, who is known for his decadence and eventual downfall. In the play, Sardanapalus is depicted as a hedonistic and weak ruler who is more interested in his own pleasure than in governing his kingdom. When his kingdom is threatened by invasion, Sardanapalus is forced to confront his own weaknesses and make a final, tragic decision. The play explores themes of power, corruption, and the consequences of excess. Byron's poetic language and vivid imagery make Sardanapalus a powerful and engaging play that continues to be studied and performed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
