Sommario/riassunto

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, this series offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals.
