The Bacchae and Other Plays Translated by John Davie with an Introduction and Notes by Richard Rutherford The plays of Euripides have stimulated audiences since the fifth century BC. This volume, containing Phoenician Women, Bacchae, Iphigenia at Aulis, Orestes, and Rhesus, completes the new editions of Euripides in Penguin Classics. 432 pp. 978-0-14-044726-2 $12.00 Electra and Other Plays Translated by John Davie with an Introduction by Richard Rutherford Written in the period from 426 to 415 b.c., during the fierce struggle for supremacy between Athens and Sparta, these five plays are haunted by the horrors of war, and in particular its impact on women. Included are: Andromache, Electra, Hecabe, Suppliant Women, and Trojan Women. 220 pp. 978-0-14-044668-5 $11.00 Heracles and Other Plays Translated by John Davie with an Introduction by Richard Rutherford The dramas that Euripides wrote toward the end of his life are remarkable for their stylistic innovation and adventurous plots. In the plays in this collection—Heracles, Cyclops, Iphigenia Among the Taurians, Ion, and Helen—he weaves plots full of startling shifts of tone and exploits the comic potential found in traditional myth. 416 pp. 978-0-14-044725-5 $12.00 Medea and Other Plays Translated by John Davie Introduction and Notes by Richard Rutherford Euripides was the first of the great Greek tragedians to depict the figures of ancient mythology as fallible human beings. Shocking to his contemporaries, the four plays in this collection—Alcestis, Medea, The Children of Heracles, and Hippolytus— are uncannily modern not only in their insights but also in their realistic portraits of women, both good and evil. 240 pp. 978-0-14-044929-7 $12.00 Medea and Other Plays Translated with an Introduction by Philip Vellacott Euripides was the first playwright to use the chorus as commentator, to put contemporary language into the mouths of heroes, and to interpret human suffering without reference to the gods. These verse translations of Medea, Hecuba, Electra, and Mad Heracles capture all the brilliance of his work. 208 pp. 978-0-14-044129-1 $11.00 Orestes and Other Plays Translated with an Introduction by Philip Vellacott Spanning the last twenty-four years of Euripides’s career, this volume includes The Children of Heracles, Andromache, The Suppliant Women, The Phoenician Women, Orestes, and Iphigenia in Aulis. 448 pp. 978-0-14-044259-5 $13.00 See The Portable Greek Reader and Greek Tragedy.
