One of the greatest Greek tragedians, Euripides gives dramatic articulacy to his remorseless view of human nature, and a world in which the gods are malevolent, impotent, or simply absent.
This new translation by James Morwood captures Euripides' variety of register and mood while a lucid introduction provides substantial analysis of each play as well as detailing the traditions and background to Euripides' world.
Plays included are: Medea, Hippolytus, Electra and Helen.
