Euripides Plays: 1

Synopsis

Plays one

"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" -- Provided by publisher.
