King Admetus must die unless someone takes his place. The only person to volunteer is his wife Alcestis. In a cowardly fashion, Admetus allows her to do so. Only after he admits his weakness does his friend Herakles come to the rescue. The play celebrates the best of wives Alcestis, who willingly gives up her life so that her husband Admetus may live. They hear about her heroic action from the gods, a faithful servant and the chorus and then see her make several demands on her husband before she apparently dies on stage.
