Euripides II contains the playsAndromache, trans by Deborah Roberts;Hecuba, trans by William Arrowsmith;The Suppliant Women, trans by Frank William Jones; &Electra, trans by Emily Townsend Vermeule. Sixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a momentous project:a new translation of the Greek tragedies that would be the ultimate resource for teachers, students, and readers. They succeeded. Under the expert management of eminent classicists David Grene & Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render the surviving masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard translations.

This edition also includes brand-new translations of Euripides’Medea,The Children of Heracles,Andromache, & Iphigenia among the Taurians, fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus, & the surviving portion of Sophocles’s satyr-dramaThe Trackers. New introductions for each play offer essential information about its first production, plot, & reception in antiquity & beyond. In addition, each volume includes an introduction to the life & work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties & a glossary of names & places mentioned in the plays. In addition to the new content, the volumes have been reorganized both within & between volumes to reflect the most up-to-date scholarship on the order in which the plays were originally written…
