Beschreibung

The Bacchae is the last and greatest of Euripides' plays. Its theme of the cost of resisting the gods who reside in human nature itself is still of immediate interest to audiences and readers and has inspired modern interpretations. Professor Kirk has made a translation which is both accurate and readable. This he supports with an analytic commentary and a substantial introductory essay which provide the Greek-less reader with essential background information and offer interpretation of a kind usually found only in Greek editions. This is a translation for students of Greek tragedy, particularly in courses on classics in translations or classical civilisation. It will also be useful for students of drama and of English and other literatures.

Über den Autor

Euripides (c. 480-406 BCE) was one of the three great tragedians of classical Athens, alongside Aeschylus and Sophocles. His surviving plays are central to ancient Greek literature, classical drama, Greek tragedy, mythology, and the history of theatre. Known for psychological intensity, rhetorical force, unconventional dramatic structure, and searching treatment of women, outsiders, families, gods, and human suffering, Euripides brought a distinctive sceptical and emotionally complex voice to Athenian tragedy. His major works include Medea, Hippolytus, The Bacchae, The Trojan Women, Electra, Iphigenia in Aulis, and Alcestis. Long studied, translated, adapted, and performed, Euripides remains one of the essential authors for readers of classical literature, ancient drama, Greek mythology, and Western literary history.
