Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry
themselves can properly re-create the celebrated and timeless
tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in
New Translations offers new translations that go beyond the literal
meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals.
Collected here for the first time in the series are four major works
by Euripides all set in Athens: _Hippoltos_, translated by Robert
Bagg, a dramatic interpretation of the tragedy of Phaidra; _Suppliant
Women_, translated by Rosanna Warren and Steven Scully, a powerful
examination of the human psyche; _Ion_, translated by W. S. Di Piero
and Peter Burian, a complex enactment of the changing relations
between the human and divine orders; and _The Children of Herakles_,
translated by Henry Taylor and Robert A. Brooks, a descriptive tale of
the descendants of Herakles and their journey home. These four
tragedies were originally avialble as single volumes. This volume
retains the informative introductions and explanatory notes of the
original editions and adds a single combines glossary and Greek line
numbers.
