	Admetus - LoveToKnow 1911
		ADMETUS, in Greek legend, son of Pheres, king of Pherae in Thessaly.
		When Admetus was attacked by an illness that threatened to lead to his premature death, Apollo persuaded the Moerae (Fates) to prolong his life, provided any one could be found to die in his place.
		She is said to have been rescued from the hands of Death by Heracles, who arrived upon the scene at an opportune moment; a later story represents her as cured of a dangerous illness by his skill.

	Admetus the Artist
		It is Admetus' futile position that activates the chorus in the next stasimon, a temporally illogical song: they pray for help, for release, for a way out of this disaster and still they sing of Alcestis as if she is already dead.
		Admetus is so vague until his iambic speech in the second episode that it is almost as if he were the one in the liminal space between life and death.
		And thus, Admetus, having promised total sensual deprivation (line 347, "for you have taken the joy from my life" is the low point for himself and for her), begins to re-animate his world.

	PlanetPapers - Alcestis
		Admetus, the king, has been fated to die yet, due to his alliance with Apollo, is given the chance to find a replacement.
		Drew goes further to comment that this is Heracles’s revenge against Admetus for tricking him into believing that she who died is a stranger and not Alcestis.1 This is a terrible proposition that tends to disturb a reader and, through the examination of the text, seems to be rather incorrect.
		In one aspect, this drama has the downfall and death of Alcestis and the shame of Admetus as he is displayed as the selfish creature that he truly is. This is the tragedy of the drama, yet there is still the concept of comedy in Alcestis.
