Description
Bacchae Iphigenia at Aulis ; Rhesus by Euripides This volume completes the new six-volume Loeb Classical Library edition of Euripides' plays, featuring three masterpieces of tragic drama. Bacchae tells the story of a king's resistance to the worship of Dionysus and his horrific punishment, while Iphigenia at Aulis recounts the sacrifice of Agamemnon's daughter to Artemis. Rhesus dramatizes a pivotal incident in the Trojan War. A faithful and skillfully worded translation by David Kovacs brings Euripides' emotional and intellectual drama to life, facing a freshly edited Greek text. This collection offers a unique insight into one of antiquity's greatest poets and his enduring influence on Western literature. With its thought-provoking themes and masterful storytelling, this volume is an essential addition to any classical library or for anyone interested in the works of Euripides.
