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.$bOne 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. 606 $aAndromache (Legendary character)$vDrama 606 $aGreek drama (Tragedy)$xTranslations into English 606 $aHecuba (Legendary character)$vDrama 606 $aHippolytus (Greek mythology)$vDrama 606 $aMythology, Greek$vDrama 606 $aGreek drama (Satyr play)$3(OCoLC)947144$2fast 606 $aGreek drama (Tragedy)$3(OCoLC)947146$2fast 606 $aGreek drama$3(OCoLC)947127$2fast 606 $aMythology, Greek$3(OCoLC)1031804$2fast 606 $aMythology, Greek, in literature$3(OCoLC)1031814$2fast 606 $aTragedy$3(OCoLC)1154355$2fast 615 0$aAndromache (Legendary character) 615 0$aGreek drama (Tragedy)$xTranslations into English. 615 0$aHecuba (Legendary character) 615 0$aHippolytus (Greek mythology) 615 0$aMythology, Greek 615 7$aGreek drama (Satyr play) 615 7$aGreek drama (Tragedy) 615 7$aGreek drama 615 7$aMythology, Greek 615 7$aMythology, Greek, in literature 615 7$aTragedy 676 $a882/.01 700 $aEuripides$0229973 702 $aKovacs$b David 801 0$bMaCbHUP 801 2$bTLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996214876103316 996 $aChildren of Heracles$9906694 997 $aUNISA
