Atys : A Play in Five Acts
Bok av Philippe Quinault
In this play based on Greek mythology, Atys hides his love for the nymph Sangride under a mask of indifference. But the nymph actually dotes on Atys, and tells him so. Atys allows his feelings to override common sense, and seeks the help of the goddess Cybele to assist the lovers, unaware that the goddess also loves him. The result is a classic Greek tragedy.
