The Complete Euripides, Volume 2

Iphigenia in Tauris and Other Plays

Herausgeber: Burian, Peter; Shapiro, Alan

Beschreibung

This volume collects Euripides' Electra, an exciting story of vengeance that counterposes suspense and horror with comic realism; Orestes, the tragedy of a young man who kills his mother to avenge her murder of his father; Iphigenia in Tauris, a delicately written and beautifully contrived Euripidean "romance"; and Iphigeneia at Aulis, a compelling look at the devastating consequence of "man's inhumanity to man." This volume reprints theinformative introductions and notes of the original editions, and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line numbers.
