This volume collects Euripides' Electra (translated by Janet Lembke and Kenneth J. Reckford), an exciting story of vengeance that counterposes suspense and horror with comic realism; Orestes (John Peck and Frank Nisetich), the tragedy of a young man who kills his mother to avenge her murder of his father; Iphigenia in Tauris (Richmond Lattimore), a delicately written and beautifully contrived Euripidean "romance"; and Iphigeneia at Aulis (W. S. Merwin and George E. Dimock, Jr.), a compelling look at the devastating consequence of "man's inhumanity to man." This volume reprints the informative introductions and notes of the original editions, and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line numbers.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 204mmItem Length: 135mmItem Width: 21mmContributor: Peter Burian (Edited by), Alan Shapiro (Edited by)Genre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Greek Tragedy in New TranslationsTopic: Poetry & DramaItem Weight: 431gAuthor: No AuthorRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
