Iphigenia among the Taurians, Bacchae, Iphigenia at Aulis, Rhesus (Hardcover)

This book is the second of three volumes of a new prose translation of Euripides' most popular plays. It contains four tragedies in which Euripides places his characters under the pressure of intolerable circumstances, revealing them `as they are'. Iphigenia among the Taurians is an exciting escape story, Bacchae deals with wine and unfettered emotion, Iphigenia at Aulis centres on the ultimate dysfunctional family, and Rhesus, which is probably the work of another playwright, is an action-packed theatrical Iliad in miniature.
