| Summary | "Semiramis and Other Plays" by Olive Tilford Dargan is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 20th century. The title play, "Semiramis," tells the story of Semiramis, the daughter of Menones, who rises to power in Assyria and must navigate a world filled with conflict, love, betrayal, and ambition. The central characters include Semiramis herself, King Ninus of Assyria, and Khosrove, prince of Armenia, as their fates intertwine amidst the backdrop of war and political intrigue. The opening of "Semiramis" sets the stage with a tense atmosphere surrounding the imminent battle between Assyria and Armenia. Semiramis anxiously awaits her brother Artavan's return and expresses her deep concern over their father, Menones, who has fled the battle out of fear. As she dons her armor and prepares to take action herself, the dynamics of duty, family loyalty, and the horrors of war become pronounced. The scene unfolds with Semiramis rallying support for her father, revealing her strong and determined spirit while foreshadowing the intertwining relationships and challenges she will face as the story progresses.
