Description
Euripides III brings together four iconic plays by one of ancient Greece's most celebrated tragedians. This comprehensive collection features translations of Heracles, The Trojan Women, Iphigenia among the Taurians, and Ion, all carefully updated to bring them closer to their original Greek forms.
Originally published as part of a groundbreaking project to provide accurate and engaging English translations of the surviving masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, this third edition has been revised by leading classicists Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most. The result is a richly detailed introduction to each play, including new translations of Medea, The Children of Heracles, Andromache, and Iphigenia among the Taurians.
Each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays. This edition is designed to ensure that these ancient works remain accessible and engaging for readers today.
