Five Great Greek Tragedies (Dover Thrift Editions: Plays)

This anthology brings together five of the greatest, most studied, and most performed Greek tragedies, each in an outstanding translation: • Oedipus Rex and Electra by Sophocles (translated by George Young), in which the much-admired playwright explores the individual's search for truth and self-knowledge • Medea and Bacchae by Euripides (translated by Henry Hart Milman), favorites with modern audiences for their psychological subtlety and the humanity of their characters • Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus (translated by George Thomson), a monumental work that examines relations between humans and the gods These masterpieces of world literature represent the very apex of Greek drama and are essential for both the home library and the classroom.
