Portrait of Euripides

Euripides, one of the great tragedians of classical Athens, reshaped Greek drama with psychological depth and bold questioning of divine justice. His works, including enduring plays such as *Medea*, *The Bacchae*, and *Hippolytus*, reveal a profound sympathy for human emotion and a willingness to challenge moral convention. His characters are vividly flawed, torn between passion and reason, and his storytelling remains strikingly modern in its insight.

Often considered the most innovative of the trio alongside Aeschylus and Sophocles, Euripides brought a new realism to the stage, blending myth with contemporary concerns. His influence stretches far beyond the ancient world, inspiring playwrights, poets, and philosophers through the centuries. A collection of his tragedies offers readers a compelling encounter with the complexities of fate, faith, and the human heart.

    Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Trojan Women

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisA modern-day version of Euripides' anti-war play, The Trojan Women has been rewritten and is set in a mother-and-baby unit of a prison. The war is over. Beyond the prison walls, Troy and its people burn. Inside the prison, the city’s captive women await their fate. Stalking the antiseptic confines of its mother and baby unit is Hecuba, the fallen Trojan queen, whilst the pregnant Chorus is shackled to her bed. But their grief at what has been before will soon be drowned out by the horror of what is to come, as the Greek lust for vengeance consumes everything – man, woman and baby – in its path. This caustic and radical new version of Euripides’ classic tragedy comes from one of the UK’s most exciting young poets, Caroline Bird. It is an intense, gripping look at what happens when the world collapses.Trade Review"'Some of the writing is pin-sharp - does away with reverence, rips up the rulebook' - The Telegraph 'This fine new modern-day version by poet Caroline Bird is set in the mother-and-baby unit of a prison. It's an ingenious idea of sparkling sensitivity,' - Evening Standard Caroline Bird's new version has both bleak beauty and sardonic humour.' - The Financial Times"

  • Euripides: Troades

    Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Euripides: Troades

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisWith its savage indictment of the horrors of war as they affect women and children on the losing side, Euripides Troades has been one of the most regularly read, performed and adapted of Greek tragedies. It was first produced in 415 BC just after the Athenians slaughter of the male population of Melos and at the point where they were sending out the ambitious Sicilian expedition. It therefore has major contemporary political significance. Like Aeschylus Eumenides, it was performed as the third play in a thematically linked trilogy and, though the other two plays survive only in fragments, important inferences can be drawn about our interpretation of the surviving play and Euripides use of the trilogy form. Lee’s edition, first published in the famous "red Macmillan" series in 1976, is the most recent scholarly edition in English. The detailed commentary discusses text, language, interpretation and metre; there is a full introduction and for this paperback edition there is an additional up-to-date bibliography.Table of ContentsPreface Introduction Contents FIRST PRODUCTION OF THE PLAY - THE TRILOGY- THE TROADES THE TEXT - The Manuscript V - The Manuscript P – Harleianus 5743 (Q) - Hazmiensis 417-Neapolitanus II F 9- Papyri-Indirect Sources - NOTES TO INTRODUCTION TEXT Apparatus Criticus List Of Abbreviations COMMENTARY Notes On Metrical Analyses Addenda Bibliography Bibliographical Postscript Indexes

    Book SynopsisFeatures a story of the wronged wife who avenges herself upon her unfaithful husband by murdering their children is lodged securely in the popular imagination, a touchstone for politics, law, and psychoanalysis and the subject of constant retellings and reinterpretations.Trade Review"Taplin's eminently readable version of this harrowing tragedy justifies his reputation as one of our foremost experts in dramatic criticism, whose pioneering efforts in illuminating ancient stagecraft remain indispensable today." -Froma Zeitlin, Princeton University "Euripides's influential and provocative Medea continues to be read, performed, adapted, and reinterpreted in multiple contexts across the globe. Taplin's accessible and performable, yet vivid and poetic translation makes the play available to a modern audience while doing justice to both its complexities and its horrific power." -Helene P. Foley, Barnard College, Columbia University "Taplin translates Medea into clear and contemporary English while reflecting well the different registers and tones that create the subtle texture of Greek tragedy. His version is eminently speakable, but also highly faithful to the original Greek, making it ideal for instructors and readers who want to study closely the specific metaphors and terms that carry the classic themes of this influential drama." -Donald J. Mastronarde, University of California, Berkeley
