Very Informative

This is a collection of essays by noted scholars about Euripides' great play about the mother who kills her own children to get back at her cheating husband. The editor has done an admirable job of organizing the book and introducing the essays. he also provides an excellent inroduction that gives background and context. I would recommend it highly for high school and college students, and for that matter anybody who has an interest in ancient Greek theater or literature.
