Collected here for the first time in the series are three major plays
by Euripides: _Bacchae_, translated by Reginald Gibbons and Charles
Segal, a powerful examination of the horror and beauty of Dionysiac
ecstasy; _Herakles_, translated by Tom Sleigh and Christian Wolff, a
violent dramatization of the madness and exile of one of the most
celebrated mythical figures; and _The Phoenician Women_, translated by
Peter Burian and Brian Swamm, a disturbing interpretation of the fate
of the House of Laios following the tragic fall of Oedipus. These
three tragedies were originally available as single volumes. This
volume retains the informative introductions and explanatory notes of
the original editions and adds a single combined glossary and Greek
line numbers.
