Written in the shadow of the Peloponnesian War, the play critically exposes the futility of war and the horrors which accompany it. The social commentary is quite advanced and sadly relevant even to the modern day. This is the old-school translation; expect 19th century style language. Worth a read. My favourite 5th century BC Greek play. In this one the always interesting Euripides gives his twist on the legend of Helen of Troy. According to this version, Helen never actually got to Troy but was hiding out in Egypt until all the brouhaha died down. I'm really not a fan of reading plays (and this is my tenth this year--two more to go), but this one is great. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Outstepping the literal bounds of genre, this work has been referred to by scholars as both a tragedy and a comedy. This translation attempts to preserve Euripides' structure of subtlety and his comments on both the futility of war and the distinction between appearance and reality.
