## Description

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. He is also remarkable for the prominence he gave to female characters, whether heroines of virtue or vice. This new translation does full justice to Euripides's range of tone and gift of narrative. A lucid introduction provides substantial analysis of each play, complete with vital explanations of the traditions and background to Euripides's world. Contains: Medea ; Hippolytus ; Electra ; Helen About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up to date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Review: Nice edition - good translation - I like modern, readable translations and these are great. There are some very nice and helpful footnotes provided which were very much appreciated. I teach Ancient Philosophy, among other topics, and I was very happy with these translations of profound works of art. Medea, for instance, is a truly alarming and impressive creation.
Review: READING AND UNDERSTANDING, THE CLASSICS - Joining a class, with an excellent retired professor, guiding us, helped me get much more out of my readings. The books I purchased at desertcart, depict the wars, power struggles and human interactions that led to the fall of the circa 430 BC era Grecian civilization that are plaguing our world today. Wars and human suffering seem endless ....Sherry Roberts...
