The Complete Euripides Volume II Electra and Other Plays (Hardcover, Critical)
Series: Greek Tragedy in New Translations

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' Electra (translated
by Janet Lembke and Kenneth J. Reckford), an exciting story of
vengeance that counterposes suspense and horror with comic realism;
Orestes (John Peck and Frank Nisetich), the tragedy of a young man
who kills his mother to avenge her murder of his father; Iphigenia
in Tauris (Richmond Lattimore), a delicately written and
beautifully contrived Euripidean "romance"; and Iphigeneia at Aulis
(W. S. Merwin and George E. Dimock, Jr.), a compelling look at the
devastating consequence of "man's inhumanity to man." This volume
reprints the informative introductions and notes of the original
editions, and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line
numbers.
