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.One of Athens' greatest poets, Euripides has been prized in every age for the pathos, terror, surprising plot twists, and intellectual probing of his dramatic creations. Here are four of his plays in a new Loeb Classical Library edition. Hippolytus triumphed in the Athenian dramatic competition of 428 BCE; in modern times it has been judged to be one of Euripides' masterpieces. It tells of the punishment that the goddess Aphrodite inflicts on a young man who refuses to worship her. Hecuba and Andromache recreate the tragic stories of two noble Trojan women after their city's fall. Children of Heracles, probably first produced in 430, soon after the Spartan invasion of Attica, celebrates an incident long a source of Athenian pride: the city's protection of the sons and daughters of the dead Heracles. In this second volume of the new Loeb Euripides David Kovacs gives us a freshly edited Greek text facing an accurate and graceful prose translation. Explanatory notes clarify allusions and nuances, and a brief introduction to each play is provided.Andromache (Legendary character)DramaGreek drama (Tragedy)Translations into EnglishHecuba (Legendary character)DramaHippolytus (Greek mythology)DramaMythology, GreekDramaGreek drama (Satyr play)(OCoLC)947144fastGreek drama (Tragedy)(OCoLC)947146fastGreek drama(OCoLC)947127fastMythology, Greek(OCoLC)1031804fastMythology, Greek, in literature(OCoLC)1031814fastTragedy(OCoLC)1154355fastAndromache (Legendary character)Greek drama (Tragedy)Translations into English.Hecuba (Legendary character)Hippolytus (Greek mythology)Mythology, GreekGreek drama (Satyr play)Greek drama (Tragedy)Greek dramaMythology, GreekMythology, Greek, in literatureTragedy882/.01Euripides229973Kovacs DavidMaCbHUPTLCBOOK996214876103316Children of Heracles906694UNISA
