The Complete Euripides, Volume V: Medea and Other Plays

The Complete Euripides, Volume V: Medea and Other Plays

Alan Shapiro
4.3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can properly re-create the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations series offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals.
This volume collects Euripides' Alcestis , a subtle drama about Alcestis and her husband Admetos, which is the oldest surviving work by the dramatist; Medea , a moving vengeance story and an excellent example of the prominence and complexity that Euripides gave to female characters; Helen , a genre breaking play based on the myth of Helen in Egypt; and Cyclops , a highly lyrical drama based on a celebrated episode from the Odyssey. This volume retains the informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original editions and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line numbers.
