Description

Euripides V brings together four iconic plays by one of ancient Greece's most celebrated tragedians: "The Bacchae", "Iphigenia in Aulis", "The Cyclops" and "Rhesus". Translated with care and precision, these works showcase Euripides' mastery of language and drama.

Originally published as part of a groundbreaking series, this edition has been updated to bring the translations even closer to the original Greek, while retaining their poetic immediacy and clarity. New introductions provide essential context for each play, including information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond.

Each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of Euripides, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays. This comprehensive collection is the perfect resource for teachers, students and readers looking to explore the works of this influential tragedian.
