By Euripides

Book Overview

The Hecuba, Orestes, Phoenician Virgins, and Medea of Euripides is a collection of four plays written by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides. The first play, Hecuba, tells the story of the former queen of Troy and her grief over the loss of her husband and children in the Trojan War. Orestes is the second play, which follows the titular character as he seeks revenge for his father's murder. The third play, Phoenician Virgins, centers around the conflict between two brothers over the throne of Thebes. The final play, Medea, is perhaps the most famous of the four and tells the story of a woman who seeks revenge on her husband after he leaves her for another woman. The plays are known for their exploration of complex themes such as revenge, justice, and the consequences of human actions.
