Women on the Edgeby Ruby Blondell; Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz; Bella Vivante; Mary-Kay Gamel

Heraklesby Euripides; Thomas Sleigh; Christian Wolff
Oxford University Press 2001; US$ 19.00In Herakles, Euripides reveals with great subtlety and complexity the often brutal underpinnings of our social arrangements. The play enacts a thoroughly contemporary dilemma about the relationship between personal and state violence to civic order. Of all of Euripides' plays, this is his most skeptically subversive examination of myth, morality, and power. Depicting Herakles slowly going mad by Hera, the wife of Zeus, this play continues to haunt and inspire readers. Hera hates Herakles because he is one of Zeus' children born of adultery, and in his madness, Herakles is driven to murder his own wife and children and is eventually exiled, by his own accord, to Athens. This new volume includes a fresh translation, an updated introduction, detailed... more...
Rhesosby Euripides; Richard Emil Braun
Oxford University Press 1992; US$ 16.95The story of a futile quest for knowledge, this ancient anti-war drama is one of the neglected plays within the corpus of Greek tragedy. Euripides' shortest tragic work, Rhesos is unique in lacking a prologue, provoking some scholars to the conclusion that the beginning of the play has been lost. In this exciting translation, Rhesos is no longer treated as a derivative Euripidean work, but rather as the tightly-knit tragedy of knowledge it really is. A drama in which profound problems of fate and free will come alive, Rhesos is also an exploration of the perversion of values that come as the result of war. Charged with a striking immediacy, this play is contemporary in the questions it raises, and eternal in its quest for truth. more...
Tragedy's Endby Francis M. Dunn
Oxford University Press 1996; US$ 110.00Euripides is a notoriously problematic and controversial playwright whose innovations, according to Nietzsche, brought Greek tragedy to an early death. Dunn here argues that the infamous and artificial endings in Euripides deny the viewer access to a stable or authoritative reading of the play, while innovations in plot and ending opened tragedy up to a medley of comic, parodic, and narrative impulses. Part One explores the dramatic and metadramatic uses of novel closing gestures, such as aetiology, closing prophecy, exit lines of the chorus, and deus ex machina. Part Two shows how experimentation in plot and ending reinforce one another in Hippolytus, Trojan Women, and Heracles. Part Three argues that in three late plays, Helen, Orestes, and... more...
Heracles and Euripidean Tragedyby Thalia Papadopoulou; R. L. Hunter; R. G. Osborne; M. D. Reeve; P. D. Garnsey; M. Millett; D. N. Sedley; G. C. Horrocks
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 83.00Euripides' Heracles is a play of great complexity, tracing its protagonist's development from invincible hero to the courageous bearer of suffering. This work places the play in the context of Euripidean drama, Greek dramaturgy and fifth-century Athenian society. It also explores the play's examination of divinity and human values. more...
Helenby Ronald K. S. Euripides; James Michie; Colin Leach
Oxford University Press 1992; US$ 15.00Outstepping the literal bounds of genre, this work has been referred to by scholars as both a tragedy and a comedy. This translation attempts to preserve Euripides' structure of subtlety and his comments on both the futility of war and the distinction between appearance and reality. more...
Ionby George E. Euripides; W. S. Di Piero; Peter Burian
Oxford University Press 1996; US$ 19.00"Ion" is an enactment of the changing relations between the human and divine orders, and the way in which our understanding of the gods is mediated and re-visioned by myths. It contains near disasters, poorly informed actions and misdirected intentions that almost result in catastrophe. more...
Orestesby Richmond Euripides; John Peck; Frank Nisetich
Oxford University Press 1995; US$ 19.00This is a translation of Euripides's 'Orestes' by Peck, a poet, and Nisetich, a classicist, with introduction, glossary, and full stage directions. more...
Euripides and the Poetics of Nostalgiaby Gary S. Meltzer
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 87.00Using deconstructionist and feminist theory, this book investigates the theme of the lost voice of truth and justice in four plays by Euripides. It sheds new light on the source of Euripides' tragic power and enduring appeal, and reveals the surprising relevance of his works for our own day. more...
Hekabeby Euripides
Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2008; US$ 67.00Troja ist gefallen, alle Männer erschlagen und ihre Frauen auf dem Weg in die Sklaverei. Polyxene, Tochter der Königin Hekabe, wird auf dem Grab des Achilleus geopfert, nachdem ihre Mutter vergeblich versucht hat, ihr Leben zu retten. Polydoros, jüngster Sohn des Königs Priamos, war von den Eltern mit einem Goldschatz bei dem Thrakerkönig Polymestor in Sicherheit gebracht worden, doch nach dem Fall der Stadt tötete der König das Kind und eignete sich das Gold an. Als die leidgeprüfte Hekabe dies erfährt, lockt sie ihn zu sich, blendet ihn und tötet seine beiden Söhne. Das Menschenopfer, die grausame Blutrache und die Düsterkeit der hier dargestellten Welt, aus der sich die Götter... more...
