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 Euripides' Andromache
(translated by Susan Stewart and Wesley D. Smith), a play that
challenges the concept of tragic character and transforms
expectations of tragic structure; Hecuba (Janet Lembke and Kenneth
J. Reckford), a powerful story of the unjustifiable sacrifice of
Hecuba's daughter and the consequent destruction of Hecuba's
character; Trojan Women (Peter Burian and Alan Shapiro), a
particularly intense account of human suffering and uncertainty;
and Rhesos (Richard Emil Braun), the story of a futile quest for
knowledge. This volume retains the informative introductions and
explanatory notes of the original editions and adds a single
combined glossary and Greek line numbers.
