Euripides

another rare play
This fourth book in the Euripides series gives the reader another fairly rare play: Rhesus. Readable translation that is easily affordable with good general introductions. A bit too conservative in translation at points.

Euripides III: Hecuba, Andromache, The Trojan Women, Ion (The Complete Greek Tragedies)
Euripides

Nicely organized
The third in this series of translation of Greek drama has the same basic flaws as the others: conservative translation. But also like the others it is very readable and affordable. I also liked the fact that these plays were organized so that the stories are shown ...

simple, clear, beautiful
I've owned copies of Euripides all my life and never got around to reading them, but when Grief Lessons came across my desk last week, I was compelled to read straight through it. The title alone speaks of Carson's special talent for reaching the heart of the matter. ...

This volume of three of Euripides' most celebrated plays offers graceful, economical, metrical translations that convey the wide range of effects of the playwright's verse, from the idiomatic speech of its dialogue to the high formality of its choral odes.

Classical are these classics.
Robert Corrigan has put together an amazing collection of classical plays. The translations are modern without losing the savvy and content of their original. This edition is sparse in stage directions which is the way it should remain. It was a real predilection for ...
