Medea and Other Plays (Paperback, New edition)

Euripides was one of the most popular and controversial of all Greek tragedians, and his plays are marked by an independence of thought, ingenious dramatic devices, and a subtle variety of register and mood. This new translation does full justice to Euripides' tonal range and gift for narrative. A lucid introduction provides substantial analysis of each play, complete with vital explanations of the traditions and background to Euripides' world.

Contains: Medea; Hippolytus; Electra; Helen.
