Summary:

"Σαικσπήρου Δράματα, Ο Βασιλιάς Ληρ" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written in the late 16th to early 17th century. The play revolves around King Lear, who foolishly decides to divide his kingdom among his three daughters based on their declarations of love for him, which sets off a tragic chain of events marked by betrayal, madness, and familial strife. At the start of the play, King Lear gathers his daughters, Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia, to declare his intent to retire and divide his kingdom based on which of them loves him most. Goneril and Regan offer overly flattering statements, but Cordelia, the youngest, speaks honestly and claims she loves him according to her duty alone. Angered by this, Lear disowns Cordelia and divides the kingdom between the deceitful Goneril and Regan. This initial act of folly sets in motion the tumultuous events that follow, highlighting themes of loyalty, authority, and the complexity of familial relationships.
