Review: Turgor - This edition of the presented four plays sets the gold standard for Euripedes translations. Personally, I consider Iphigenia in Aulis and Bacchae are the gems in this volume, though Rhesus and the Cyclops are included (and worthwhile for scholarly reasons). Bacchae is a steadily escalating pressure-cooker of a play, from its opening to its maddening climax (the rewards of impiety in the classical world are often brutal, see Capaneus, but denying a god's divinity to their face is courting disaster). Iphigenia in Aulis is a beautiful, yet sadly altered, story of the sacrifice of Agamemnon's daughter, required to get the Black Ships underway to their army's destiny at Troy. This sacrifice sets Clytemnestra's hatred for her husband boiling, leading to the events of the Oresteia when he returns. It leads to Achilles' disdain for the Atreides, shown further in the Iliad. It shows Menelaus and Agamemnon at loggerheads, and how tenuous Agamemnon's grip over the army is and will remain. Unfortunately, we do not have the entirety of Euripedes' plays, what we do have is a good sampling of some of the best. This is not the first volume I would purchase of Euripedes (as Medea is my favorite of his), this has two of his best and shows his mastery of dramatic tension.
Review: Warning Students AND Professors - If you're ordering this book for a class just make sure your professor is using the same copy & not an older one because the page numbers change, even the translation is slightly different. For example one instance the older copy said ghosts & this copy used phantoms instead This is something my professor discovered in class. Thankfully his copy is the only older one, but it does cause confusion from time to time so just make sure you take that into account when ordering it or making your students purchase this. Other than that, its a great copy/translation of these works. The introduction before each piece is very informative & insightful. It definitely helped other students less familiar with ancient literature get a better grasping of what to look out for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent translation!
*by A***P on December 20, 2019*

I'm now retired (though not old enough to have met the playwright!) and have some more time for "remedial humanities." After taking a course in ancient Greek theater, I wanted to read these. It's a very good, readable translation that conveys the spirit of the original. If you're a Euripides fan (and I'm talking to both of you!), you'll enjoy it.
