Description & Specifications

Alcestis/Medea/Children of Heracles/Hippolytus

One of the best offerings of Euripides' prose, according to Robert Fagles. This selection of works shows Euripides transforming the titanic figures of Greek myths into recognizable, mortal humans. Medea, in which a betrayed woman takes revenge on her lover by killing their children, is one of the most shocking tragedies. Medea is an imposing figure underscoring Euripides' unusual willingness to give voice to a woman's case. Alcestis is based on a magical myth where Death is overcome, and Children of Heracles examines the conflict between power and justice, while Hippolytus deals with self-destructive integrity. Translation by JOHN DAVIE.
