Published in the new Methuen Classical Dramatists series Euripides'
searching, poetic voice probes the waste and suffering of war in
these plays which are set wake of the Trojan defeat to reflect the
playwright's changing attitude to the real war between Athens and
Sparta in his own day - 4th century BC. Hecuba is a play of ghosts
and shadowy death; The Women of Troy is a searing indictment of the
aftermath of defeat; Iphigenia at Aulis shows a human tragedy at
the heart of the mechanics of war; and Cyclops is a satyr play
which offers a comic antidote to the tragedies.With an introduction
