Euripides (c. 480-406 BCE) was one of the greatest dramatists of ancient Greece, and this volume collects some of his most powerful and influential plays. Among them are Medea, Hippolytus, and The Bacchae, all of which explore the darker aspects of human nature and are renowned for their psychological insight and dramatic intensity. In Buckley's acclaimed translation, these tragedies remain as fresh and moving today as they were over two millennia ago.
