Produced by Carlo Traverso, Mireille Harmelin and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Eurimedon: L'illustre pirate" by Nicolas-Marc Desfontaines is a tragédie-comédie written in the early 17th century. The work follows the story of Eurimedon, a noble figure entangled in a complex narrative of love, valor, and rivalry as he navigates the treacherous waters of romance and conflict with figures such as Pasithée and Tygrane. The setting unfolds largely in the mythic landscape of ancient Greece, imbued with themes of heroism and tragedy. The opening of the play introduces us to Eurimedon, who has just returned from a perilous voyage that involved saving Pasithée, a captive princess, from the clutches of pirates. As the story begins, Eurimedon expresses his relief and joy at bringing the princess back to her homeland, while also grappling with his feelings for her and the political landscapes complicating their relationship. Amidst the unfolding drama, rivalries emerge, particularly from Tygrane, a prince who challenges Eurimedon's place in Pasithée's affections, setting the stage for conflicts that intertwine themes of honor, ambition, and unrequited love. The narrative is rich with character interactions that hint at deeper intrigues among the royal courts and the struggles associated with love in a tumultuous environment.
