Euripides’ Acestis: Translation with Introduction, Notes, and Essay
By Michael R. Halleran
Euripides’ Alcestis is a timeless Greek tragedy that explores the themes of love, sacrifice, and the fragility of life. The story centers on Alcestis, the devoted wife of Admetus, who volunteers to die in his place when no one else will. Her selfless act is a poignant portrayal of love’s power and the human condition’s complexities. As Alcestis fades, Admetus is torn between his gratitude and overwhelming guilt. Just as all seems lost, the arrival of the hero Heracles offers a glimmer of hope. This new translation offers a profound meditation on the value of life, the depth of marital devotion, and the ultimate cost of love.

Forthcoming Publications
- Liber Memorialis
- Edited and directed by Molly Swetnam-Burland. This work is among the first extant works of literature specifically written for children. The Liber Memorialis thus offers us an unparalleled opportunity to investigate what children were interested in, what kinds of knowledge they were expected to acquire and be able to produce, and how authors might craft prose that was both useful and intelligible to them.
- Ragas in Miniature: Compositions of the Lucknow-Shahjahanpur Gharana
- Co-authored by William & Mary professor Max Katz and his teacher, senior hereditary sarod player Irfan Khan. This work is structured around 136 compositions performed in definitive demonstration by Khan and embedded as high quality audio files directly in the text. Each recording is accompanied by a basic transcription in the standard and intuitive notation system of North India, and by a short, written discussion between Khan and Katz. These dialogues situate each composition within the family history, but also frequently extend to stories, narratives, and memories.
- Vital Facts: A Chronology of the College of William & Mary
- A basic outline of the history of the College, from 1618 to 1999.
