Editorial Reviews
Review
"Wonderful edition."--Professor Coni Maniels, University of Hawaii at Manoa "The translation is clear and conveys well the sense of Euripides' intent. The introduction gives an up-to-date evaluation of the play. The notes should be very helpful to the Greekless reader. The glossary at the end of this and the other volumes in the series are excellent as a guide to the mythless reader."--Patricia P. Matsen, University of South Carolina "A very accessible translation of a wonderful story. The glossary is very useful."--Karen E. Stohr, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "Very well edited, and priced right."--Edna L. Steeves, University of Rhode Island
From the Back Cover
Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry them-selves can properly recreate the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations series offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals.
