Eighteen of his ninety or so plays survive complete, including Medea, Hippolytus, and Bacchae, one of the great masterpieces of the tragic genre. Fragments of his lost plays also survive.Euripides has been prized in every age for the pathos, terror, surprising plot twists, and intellectual probing of his dramatic creations. In this fifth volume of the new Loeb Classical Library Euripides, David Kovacs presents a freshly edited Greek text and a faithful and deftly worded translation of three plays. For his Helen the poet employs an alternative history in which a virtuous Helen never went to Troy but spent the war years in Egypt, falsely blamed for the adulterous behavior of her divinely created double in Troy. This volume also includes Phoenician Women, Euripides' treatment of the battle between the sons of Oedipus for control of Thebes; and Orestes, a novel retelling of Orestes' lot after he murdered his mother, Clytaemestra. Each play is annotated and prefaced by a helpful introduction.Helen of Troy (Greek mythology)DramaOrestes (Greek mythology)DramaSeven against Thebes (Greek mythology)DramaGreek drama (Satyr play)(OCoLC)947144fastGreek drama (Tragedy)(OCoLC)947146fastGreek drama(OCoLC)947127fastMythology, Greek(OCoLC)1031804fastMythology, Greek, in literature(OCoLC)1031814fastTragedy(OCoLC)1154355fastHelen of Troy (Greek mythology)Orestes (Greek mythology)Seven against Thebes (Greek mythology)Greek drama (Satyr play)Greek drama (Tragedy)Greek dramaMythology, GreekMythology, Greek, in literatureTragedy882/.01Euripides229973Kovacs DavidMaCbHUPTLCBOOK996199219903316Tragoediae20703UNISA
