The plays in this volume are quite Greek, filled with fate and goddesses (a couple of gods mentioned, too, but goddesses are causing most the trouble this time). All of these stories are at least passingly familiar, but the take on them here is slightly different than with other authors. It is interesting to read these plays and think about how enamored modern theatre is of Aristotle, who based his poetics on the Greek works of his time, and yet few skilled modern authors would dream of writing in this fashion, with exposition, all the action happening off stage, and often sudden endings that sort of leave you wondering "wha' happen?" It is also somewhat depressing to be reminded how deep and long-lasting is the hatred for women and the view of women as inferior, lesser beings that one should boss around and do what they wish with and to. Overall, a decent look at the origins of theatre, but not the best that the Greeks have to offer. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can properly re-create the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in orderto evoke the poetry of the originals.Collected here for the first time in the series are four major works by Euripides all set in Athens: Hippoltos, translated by Robert Bagg, a dramatic interpretation of the tragedy of Phaidra; Suppliant Women, translated by Rosanna Warren and Steven Scully, a powerful examination of the human psyche;Ion, translated by W. S. Di Piero and Peter Burian, a complex enactment of the changing relations between the human and divine orders; and The Children of Herakles, translated by Henry Taylor and Robert A. Brooks, a descriptive tale of the descendants of Herakles and their journey home. These fourtragedies were originally avialble as single volumes. This volume retains the informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original editions and adds a single combines glossary and Greek line numbers.
