Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry
themselves can properly re-create 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.
This volume collects Euipides' Alcestis (translated by William
Arrowsmith), a subtle drama about Alcestis and her husband Admetos,
which is the oldest surviving work by the dramatist; Medea (Michael
Collier and Georgia Machemer), a moving vengeance story and an
excellent example of the prominence and complexity that Euripides
gave to female characters; Helen (Peter Burian), a genre breaking
play based on the myth of Helen in Egypt; and Cyclops (Heather
McHugh and David Konstan), a highly lyrical drama based on a
celebrated episode from the Odyssey. This volume retains the
informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original
editions and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line
numbers.
