This is the Medea we have been waiting for. It offers clarity
without banality, eloquence without pretension, meter without
doggerel, accuracy without clumsiness. No English Medea can ever be
Euripides', but this is as close as anyone has come so far, and a
good deal closer than I thought anyone would ever come. Arnson
Svarlien has shown herself exceedingly skillful in making Euripides
sound Euripidean.--David M. Schaps, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. 'Clanless, lawless, homeless is he who is in
love with civil war, that brutal ferocious thing.' The epic poem
The Iliad begins nine years after the beginning of the Trojan War
and describes the great warrior Achilles and the battles and events
that take place as he quarrels with the King Agamemnon. Attributed
to Homer, The Iliad, along with The Odyssey, is still revered today
as the oldest and finest example of Western Literature.
This accessible edition for students presents Herodotus as one of
the most fascinating and colourful authors from the ancient world.
Book III of Herodotus’ nine-book work is one of the richest in
its exploration of themes, such as the practices and customs of
different peoples and the nature of political power, issues still
much debated today. This commentary illuminates the geographical
and even anthropological scope of Herodotus' history, and enables
students to confidently tackle the text in the original Greek.
Bringing together a full introduction, text, commentary and
translation, Longley makes Herodotus accessible to students of
ancient Greek. This guide shows us why Herodotus is still
considered the ‘Father of History’.
Adopting an innovative and theoretical approach, Greek Tragedy and
the Digital is an original study of the encounter between Greek
tragedy and digital media in contemporary performance. It
challenges Greek tragedy conventions through the contemporary
arsenal of sound masks, avatars, live code poetry, new media art
and digital cognitive experimentations. These technological
innovations in performances of Greek tragedy shed new light on
contemporary transformations and adaptations of classical myths,
while raising emerging questions about how augmented reality works
within interactive and immersive environments. Drawing on
cutting-edge productions and theoretical debates on performance and
the digital, this collection considers issues including
performativity, liveness, immersion, intermediality, aesthetics,
technological fragmentation, conventions of the chorus, theatre as
hypermedia and reception theory in relation to Greek tragedy. Case
studies include Kzryztof Warlikowski, Jan Fabre, Romeo Castellucci,
Katie Mitchell, Georges Lavaudant, The Wooster Group, Labex
Arts-H2H, Akram Khan, Urland & Crew, Medea Electronique, Robert
Wilson, Klaus Obermaier, Guy Cassiers, Luca di Fusco, Ivo Van Hove,
Avra Sidiropoulou and Jay Scheib. This is an incisive,
interdisciplinary study that serves as a practice model for
conceptualizing the ways in which Greek tragedy encounters digital
culture in contemporary performance.
