This volume contains two of John Lyly's most engaging plays.Galateais the story of two young women, Galatea (or Gallathea) and Phillida who are dressed up in male clothes by their fathers so that they can avoid the requirement of the god Neptune that every year "the fairest and chastest virgin in all the country" be sacrificed to a sea-monster.Midas(1590) uses mythology in quite a different way, dramatizing two stories about King Midas in such a way as to fashion a satire of King Philip of Spain (and of any tyrant like him) for colossal greediness and folly. The plays are newly presented here by the scholars who have recently editedCampaspe: Sappho and Phao, andEndymionfor the Revels series.
