One of antiquity's greatest poets, Euripides has been prized in
every age for the pathos, terror, and intellectual probing of his
dramatic creations. This volume completes the new six-volume Loeb
Classical Library edition of his plays.
In "Bacchae," a masterpiece of tragic drama, Euripides tells the
story of king Pentheus's resistance to the worship of Dionysus and
his horrific punishment. "Iphigenia at Aulis" recounts the
sacrifice of Agamemnon's daughter to Artemis, the price exacted by
the goddess for favorable sailing winds. "Rhesus" (probably not by
Euripides) dramatizes a pivotal incident in the Trojan War. David
Kovacs presents a faithful and skillfully worded translation of the
three plays, facing a freshly edited Greek text.
