Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover.; 312 pages. Grey boards with red lettering on spine. Page dimensions: 227 x 147mm. Contains four of Euripides' tragedies in a new English translation by poet and classicist Anne Carson. The four plays in this volume are: Herakles; Hekabe; Hippolytos; Alkestis. Contents also includes a Preface - "Tragedy: A Curious Art Form" and "Why I Wrote Two Plays About Phaidra". "Euripides, the last of the three great tragedians of ancient Athens, reached the height of his renown during the disastrous Peloponnesian War, when democratic Athens was brought down by its own outsized ambitions. " Euripides, " the classicist Bernard Knox has written, " was born never to live in peace with himself and to prevent the rest of mankind from doing so." His plays were shockers: he unmasked heroes, revealing them as foolish and savage, and he wrote about the powerless women and children, slaves and barbarians for whom tragedy was not so much exceptional as unending. Euripides' plays rarely won first prize in the great democratic competitions of ancient Athens, but their combustible mixture of realism and extremism fascinated audiences throughout the Greek world. In the last days of the Peloponnesian War, Athenian prisoners held captive in far-off Sicily were said to have won their freedom by reciting snatches of Euripides' latest tragedies. Four of those tragedies are here presented in new translations by the contemporary poet and classicist Anne Carson. They are "Herakles," in which the hero swaggers home to destroy his own family; "Hekabe," set after the Trojan War, in which Hektor' s widow takes vengeance on her Greek captors; "Hippolytos," about love and the horror of love; and the strange tragic-comedy fable "Alkestis," which tells of a husband who arranges for his wife to die in his place.".
