Product Description

Celebrated in his own day for his originality, Euripides remains the most intriguing of Greek playwrights, creating a stage world full of people whose motives and behavior pattern those of today. Written at the time of the Peloponnesian War, the three plays in this volume highlight the trivial causes and dire consequences of war as well as the fate of the innocent. In Andromache, Hektor's widow sturggles to survive as the concubine of her husband's killer. Herakles' Children and Herakles show Herakles' two young families, without his powerful protection, in the hands of his enemies. Full of humanity and subtle characterization, in these new translations by Robert Cannon and Kenneth McLeish which are intended for both performer and student,this volume reaffirms the ancient playwrightas a fresh and compelling dramatist.
