The plays of Euripides have stimulated audiences since the fifth century BC. This volume, containing Phoenician Women, Bacchae, Iphigenia at Aulis, Orestes , and Rhesus completes the new editions of Euripides in Penguin Classics. Review: Amazing collection, usual desertcart damages - I cannot stand one damage to my books. So when my new book arrives with scratches and tears not enough to warrant a return but just enough to make me cry, it destroys me. The content is undoubtedly awesome! Major help for my academic work plus entertainment. Has so many great plays at one place Review: Greek Drama - Euripides is one of the great playwrights of classical Greece and with this collection (in translation) you have his complete works - as far as they exist. I bought it because I am writing a series of poems based on Dionysus to accompany an exhibition by Mike Healey in Corfu early next year but you should buy this if you want to touch base with the ancient origins of great drama.

Greek Drama
Euripides is one of the great playwrights of classical Greece and with this collection (in translation) you have his complete works - as far as they exist. I bought it because I am writing a series of poems based on Dionysus to accompany an exhibition by Mike Healey in Corfu early next year but you should buy this if you want to touch base with the ancient origins of great drama.

Excellent collection giving a view of Euripides and of Ancient Greek thought.

Not the right plays.
This version was supposed to include: Phoenician Women, Orestes, The Bacchae, Iphigenia in Aulis, and Rhesus. However, it actually contained: Ion, The Women of Troy, Helen, and The Bacchae. Not a big deal if you want The Bacchae and don't care about the rest, but I needed the rest as well.
