Galatea and Midas - (Revels Plays) by George Hunter & Stephen Bevington (Paperback)

The Galatea and Midas plays by John Lyly are two of the most engaging and thought-provoking works of Renaissance drama.

These plays offer a unique blend of mythology, satire, and romance that will captivate readers from start to finish.

In Galatea, two young women disguise themselves as men to avoid a sea-monster's sacrifice, only to fall in love with each other under the guise of their male identities.

Midas, on the other hand, uses mythology to satirize King Philip of Spain and his colossal greediness and folly.

With its timeless themes and masterful storytelling, these plays are a must-read for anyone interested in Renaissance literature and drama.
