Kurzbeschreibung
One of the greatest playwrights of Ancient Greece, the works of Euripides (484-406 BC) were revolutionary in their depiction of tragic events caused by flawed humanity, and in their use of the gods as symbols of human nature. The three plays in this collection show his abilities as the sceptical questioner of his age. Alcestis, an early drama, tells the tale of a queen who offers her own life in exchange for that of her husband; cast as a tragedy, it contains passages of satire and comedy. The tragicomedy Iphigenia in Tauris melodramatically reunites the ill-fated children of Agamemnon, while the pure tragedy of Hippolytus shows the fatal impact of Phaedra's unreasoning passion for her chaste stepson. All three plays explore a deep gulf that separates man from woman, and all depict a world dominated by amoral forces beyond human control.

*Revised Translation Edition*
5. Juni 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This is Philip Vellacott's highly acclaimed translation of Alcestis, Hippolytis and Iphigenia in Taurus.
They were originally translated in the '50's, but revised in the '70's. Both versions are almost identical for the most part, but the changes Vellacott made have more fluidity and are more speakable than his earlier version which contain an "air" of romantic archaic-ness. (I personally prefer his original translation mind you).
I think Vellacott's translations of Euripides are the best on the market, (more than the Loeb, and the Oxford editions) and this is why I keep coming back to his versions.
He makes us feel, see and hear everything going on in a Euripidean play than it is truly an amazing experience!
