What readers are saying
Readers appreciate the collection of Euripides' plays, highlighting the quality of some translations and the engaging nature of the tragedies.

The lengthy introductions also received mixed feedback, with some finding them unnecessary.
Synopsis
Published in the new Methuen Classical Dramatists series.
Always controversial, Euripides' plays are now celebrated for the subtlety of their characterisation and their unorthodox dramatic style.
This volume contains three of his finest tragedies: Medea, the abandoned wife, who murders her own children; The Phoenician Women, a further twist in the story of Oedipus and Jocasta; and Bacchae, a macabre and complex play, about the power and irrationality of Dionysos.
These translations are by David Thompson and J. Michael Walton.
