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 antiquity's greatest poets, Euripides (ca. 485-406 BCE) has been prized in every age for the pathos, terror, surprising plot twists, and intellectual probing of his dramatic creations. Here, in the third volume of a new edition that is receiving much praise, are four of his plays. Suppliant Women reflects on war and on the rule of law. Euripides's Electra--presenting the famous legend of a brother and sister who seek revenge on their mother for killing their father--is a portrayal interestingly different from that of Aeschylus or Sophocles. Heracles shows the malice of the gods--and mutual loyalty as the human response to divinely sent disaster. David Kovacs gives us a freshly edited Greek text and a new translation that, in the words of Greece and Rome, is "close to the Greek and reads fluently and well." 606 $aGreek drama (Tragedy)$vTranslations into English 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$2fast 615 0$aGreek drama (Tragedy) 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 $a996218335403316 996 $aSupplices$9534277 997 $aUNISA
