Produced by Juliet Sutherland and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Five Plays" by Lord Dunsany is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 20th century. This compilation features five plays, including "The Gods of the Mountain" and "The Golden Doom," showcasing Dunsany's rich use of fantasy, mythology, and poetic language. The plays explore themes of divinity, fate, and the human condition, often through the interactions of various characters caught between their desires and the forces that control their lives. The beginning of this collection introduces "The Gods of the Mountain," where a group of beggars, disillusioned by the misery of their city, discuss the decline of generosity and divine inspiration. As they lament the drowsy gods who fail to inspire the rich, a figure named Agmar appears, claiming to be a beggar but hinting at a grander scheme. The scene is infused with a sense of both hope and trepidation as Agmar suggests that they disguise themselves as gods to reclaim their dignity and perhaps influence the fortunes of the city. This opening sets the stage for Dunsany's thematic exploration of identity, societal roles, and the interplay between mortals and the divine.
