Euripidou Hapanta: Bacchae. Cyclops. Heraclidae. Helena

By Euripides and Joshua Barnes

This collection, "Euripidou Hapanta: Bacchae. Cyclops. Heraclidae. Helena," presents four plays by the celebrated Greek playwright Euripides, accompanied by commentary from classicists Lodewijk Caspar Valckenaer and Joshua Barnes. Included are the iconic tragedy "Bacchae," the satyr play "Cyclops," and the lesser-known but equally compelling dramas "Heraclidae" and "Helena."

These plays exemplify Euripides' profound exploration of human psychology, divine power, and the complexities of the ancient world. "Bacchae" delves into the ecstatic cult of Dionysus and the consequences of resisting religious fervor. "Cyclops" offers a rare comedic glimpse into the world of Greek mythology. "Heraclidae" explores themes of asylum and justice, while "Helena" presents a unique take on the Trojan War narrative. This collection provides invaluable insight into the depth and breadth of Euripides' dramatic genius.
