Ten Plays by Euripides

The first playwright of democracy, Euripides wrote with enduring insight and biting satire about social and political problems of Athenian life. In contrast to his contemporaries, he brought an exciting - and, to the Greeks, a stunning - realism to the "pure and noble form" of tragedy. The 10 plays are "Alcestis", "Medea", "Hippolytus", "Andromache", "Ion", "Trojan Women", "Electra", "Iphigenia Among the Tureens", "The Bacchanals" and "Iphigenia at Aulis". SC 358 pages.
