Books by Euripides

Bryn Mawr Commentaries provide clear, concise, accurate, and consistent support for students making the transition from introductory and intermediate texts to the direct experience of ancient Greek and Latin literature. They assume that the student will know the basics of grammar and vocabulary and then provide the specific grammatical and lexical notes that a student requires to begin the task of interpretation.

I choose to take back my life.My life.Medea is a wife and a mother. For the sake of her husband, Jason, she's left her home and borne two sons in exile. But when he abandons his family for a new life, Medea faces banishment and separation from her children. Cornered, she begs for one day's grace. It's time enough. She exacts an appalling revenge and destroys everything she holds dear.Ben Power's version of Euripides' tragedy Medea premiered at the National Theatre, London, in July 2014.

Few contemporary poets elicit such powerful responses from readers and critics as the author. The New York Times Book Review calls her work "personal, necessary, and important," while Publishers Weekly say she is "nothing less than brilliant." This book deals with her works.

A new version of Euripides's great antiwar play.

Euripides (c. 485-406 BCE) has been prized in every age for his emotional and intellectual drama. 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.

This volume collects for the first time four plays of Euripides in the acclaimed Greek Tragedy in New Translations series, each previously published individually: Alcestis, Medea, Helen, and Cyclops.

This anthology contains three of Euripides' tragedies: "Medea" concerns an abandoned wife who murders her children; "The Phoenician Women" adds a further twist to the story of Oedipus and Jocasta; and "Bacchae" is a macabre play about the power of Dionysos and unreason.

In "Andromache", Euripides depicts the aftermath of the Trojan war, when Andromache, the widow of Hector, has a fruitful, but illicit affair with the son of Achilles. The ensuing power-struggle with Hermione, the wronged wife, is re-told in this collaboration between a poet and a classicist.

This edition includes commentary which provides an introduction to one of Euripides' less well-known plays. The notes interpret the play in a wide cultural setting, considering unorthodox aspects of the structure of the drama.

Euripides' "Heracles" is a tragedy with a serious theme, the sudden downfall of the good and the glorious. In this edition the editor has attempted to help the modern reader approach Euripides' works by studying the formal elements which are prominent in his plays plus his rhetorical style.

Seven years have passed since the end of the Trojan War and Menelaus, King of Sparta and husband to Helen, is making his slow and painful way home. When his ship is wrecked on the coast of Egypt he stumbles upon what seems to be his wife lingering outside the royal palace. But if this is the real Helen, who was the beautiful woman stolen by Paris, for whom all Greece took up arms? Did Troy fall for nothing? Has it all been some god's idea of a joke?Frank McGuinness's version of Euripides' Helen premiered at Shakespeare's Globe, London, in August, 2009.
