The Complete Euripides

Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can properly re-create the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals. Each play is provided with full stage directions and accompanied by an informative introduction, extensive commentary, and a glossary of mythical and geographical references.
