The Golden And Silver Ages

The Golden and Silver Ages is a book that contains two plays written by Thomas Heywood. The first play, The Golden Age, is a comedy that explores the idea of a utopian society where everyone lives in peace and harmony. The second play, The Silver Age, is a tragedy that depicts the downfall of a once-great society. Both plays are set in ancient Greece and are filled with references to Greek mythology and culture.The Golden Age tells the story of a king who creates a perfect society where there is no war, poverty, or crime. The play explores the themes of love, friendship, and the importance of community. The Silver Age, on the other hand, tells the story of a society that has lost its way. The play depicts the corruption of power and the consequences of greed and selfishness.Overall, The Golden and Silver Ages is a fascinating exploration of two very different societies. Heywood's writing is engaging and thought-provoking, and his use of Greek mythology adds an extra layer of depth to the plays.
