Softcover. Condition: Good. Tales from the Greek Drama provides an excellent introduction to ten of the best known works of Greek drama. The book includes compelling renditions of Medea, Alcestis, Oedipus the King, Iphigenia at Aulis, Oedipus at Colonus, Agamemnon, Antigone, Electra, and HippolytusCombining the scholar's knowledge of Greek drama and the journalist's talent for dramatic accounts, Jolliffe's retelling of the monumental Greek tragedies allows the general reader to experience the theatrical, emotional and literary impact of some of the ancient world's finest playwrights: Aeschylus, Euripides and Sophocles. Designed to provide an encounter with, rather than a study of Greek drama, this prose presentation removes the impediments of unfamiliar grammar and syntax, context and genre. The result is a whetting of the appetite and the building of a firm foundation for a more sophisticated later reading of these works. Tales from the Greek Drama has been translated into Japanese and is currently in its 2nd printing in Japan.Special Features* a brief introduction focusing on the literary context* 10 plays in a dramatic, comprehensible prose format: Medea, Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone, Hippolytus, Alcestis, Ajax, Iphigenia in Aulis, Agamemnon, and Electra* an appendix on the theater of the GreeksAlso available:Bakkhai - ISBN 0865162859Iphigenia at Aulis and Iphigenia in Tauris - ISBN 0865162662For over 30 years Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers has produced the highest quality Latin and ancient Greek books.

Paperback. Condition: Gut. XI, 311 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband berieben, Kopfschnitt leicht verschmutzt, sonst sehr guter Zustand / binding rubbed, top edge slightly soiled, otherwise very good condition. - Stories of violence, passion, lust, heroism, love, and revenge have always excited us whether our tastes run to Shakespeare and the opera, or tabloids and television. But never have such stories been told with greater depth and artistry than on the Attic stage. Yet few people can read these plays in the Greek. And many who turn to translations in eager anticipation find themselves frustrated by allusions as mysterious to us as a reference like "Better Red than Dead" would be to an ancient Greek. By supplying the missing dimensions and the missing bits that every Athenian knew, H. R. Jolliffe has given these stories the life and fire they had from the first. Told in modern-day prose, the plays will no longer baffle readers unfamiliar with Hellenic civilization. Two thousand years before Hamlet was written, the little city of Athens achieved a brilliance that has never been equaled till modern times. It was there that three geniuses virtually created the drama and brought it to full flower within a generation: Aeschylus, who probed the will of the gods and the forces of justice and destiny; Sophocles, who portrayed man's heroism in a cruel universe; Euripides, who focused on individuals with all their pretensions, weaknesses, and conflicts, and found a new nobility in such "inferior" creatures as women, foreigners, and slaves. These three giants, who lived in the most intellectually exciting time and place in history, shaped the course of Western drama and fiction. Some of their plays are still staged even filmed and televised. And all of them under many disguises and transformations live on in thousands of books and plays. Many who have not felt the fire of these stories, with all their exciting twists and turns and subtle irony, know only the ashes of their outlines: The Passionate Medea, Jason's deserted mistress, whose fierce revenge ruined his life but destroyed a mother's soul. The Grimmest of Detective Stories, in which Oedipus the King relentlessly tracked down a mysterious crime until he found himself trapped in a horror of murder and incest. The Rebel Antigone, who defied a king rather than betray her own conscience. The Great King Agamemnon, whose palace was riddled by the blackest of scandals Orestes, whose mind was unhinged when it became his sacred duty to commit an unspeakable crime. / CONTENTS INTRODUCTION Euripides MEDEA Euripides ALCESTIS Sophocles OEDIPUS THE KING Page Sophocles OEDIPUS AT COLONUS Sophocles ANTIGONE Euripides HIPPOLYTUS Euripides and Euripides the Younger IPHIGENIA IN AULIS Sophocles AJAX Aeschylus AGAMEMNON Sophocles and Aeschylus ELECTRA THE THEATER OF THE GREEKS.
