Euripides Plays: 1: Medea; the Phoenician Women; Bacchae -- Euripides

Published in the new Methuen Classical Dramatists series.<br/><br/>Always controversial, Euripides' plays are now celebrated for the subtlety of their characterisation and their unorthodox dramatic style. This volume contains three of his finest tragedies: Medea, the abandoned wife, who murders her own children; The Phoenician Women, a further twist in the story of Oedipus and Jocasta; and Bacchae, a macabre and complex play, about the power and irrationality of Dionysos. These translations are by David Thompson and J. Michael Walton.<p>With an introduction by J.
