Customer Reviews

reading euripides in 2008

I've been participating in a bok group that is spending the entire year reading plays by Euripides and it has been a revelation. This volume is ably translated, although it makes sense to check other translations if you wish to engage deeply with the meaning of the text. I had not read this literature since college and am relishing the experience.

rare translation

This edition of the Euripides plays contains the rarely read "Cyclops", not a great play but important nevertheless to a complete understanding of Euripides or Greek drama in my opinion. Just as the other translations in this series is rather conservative, so too is this edition. A good, reasonably priced version for undergraduate classes.
