Review
This is a most readable book that has the merit of bringing together three plays, each by one of the great tragedians, that are not usually associated with one another. Professor Porter focuses on details of language and imagery to get at the centrallyhuman question of suffering and isolation in Greek tragedy. (Charles Segal Classical Review)
