Description
Hermon Prince of Choraea, or The Extravagant Zealot, is a tragedy written by Michael Clancy and published in 1746. The play is set in ancient Greece and revolves around the titular character, Hermon, who is the prince of Choraea. Hermon is a deeply religious man who becomes obsessed with his beliefs and takes them to an extreme level. He believes that the gods have chosen him to lead a holy war against the neighboring city-state of Corinth. Hermon's zealotry leads him to make a series of tragic decisions that ultimately lead to his downfall. He becomes increasingly isolated from his friends and family as he pursues his quest for divine approval. His actions also cause a rift between Choraea and Corinth, leading to a bloody conflict that results in the deaths of many innocent people. The play explores themes of religious fanaticism, the dangers of extremism, and the consequences of blindly following one's beliefs. It also touches on the corrupting influence of power and the destructive impact of war. Overall, Hermon Prince of Choraea, or The Extravagant Zealot, is a thought-provoking tragedy that offers a cautionary tale about the dangers of fanaticism and the importance of moderation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
