Published in the new Methuen Classical Dramatists series Written at
the height of the Peloponnesian War, the three plays in this volume
highlight the trivial causes and dire consequences of war and the
fate of the innocent. In Andromache, Hektor's widow struggles to
survive as the concubine of her husband's killer. Herakles'
Children and Herakles show his two young families, without his
powerful protection at the mercy of his enemies. Full of humanity
and subtle characterisation, these new translations by Robert
Cannon and Kenneth McLeish which are intended both for performer
and student, Euripides is reaffirmed as a fresh and compelling
dramatist.
Sophocles' greatest plays reissued in the new Classical Greek
Dramatists series. Introduced by series editor J Michael Walton
Includes the surviving complete plays: Ajax which plots the
downfall of Odysseus's greatest Trojan enemy - who slaughters a
whole herd of cattle before killing himself; Women of Trachis in
which the seemingly docile Deianira prepares a lethal homecoming
for her womanising husband Heracles; in Electra the son and
daughter of the ill-starred Agamemnon plan their revenge on their
usurping stepfather and mother and finally Philoctetes in which
Sophocles brilliantly explores the themes of pain, love and the
betrayal of trust.
