Summary
One of the greatest Greek tragedians, Euripides gives dramatic articulacy to his remorseless view of human nature, and a world in which the gods are malevolent, impotent, or simply absent. With extraordinary psychological insight he portrays a child-killing and vengeful mother, a stepmother's passion for her stepson, and a heroine who helps to murder her mother in an act blurring the boundaries between justice and sin. The satyr drama 'Helen', although lighter in tone than the tragedies, explores the impossibility of certitude and offers a fragile but genuine hope of redemption. This new translation by James Morwood captures Euripides' variety of register and mood while a lucid introduction provides substantial analysis of each play as well as detailing teh traditions and background to Euripides' world
