""The Plays of Emile Verhaeren: The Dawn, The Cloister, Philip II, Helen of Sparta"" is a collection of four plays written by Belgian poet and playwright Emile Verhaeren.

""Philip II"" is a historical drama that portrays the Spanish king's struggle to maintain his power in a changing world, and ""Helen of Sparta"" is a retelling of the famous myth of Helen and the Trojan War.
