The plays of Euripides have stimulated audiences since the fifth century BC. This volume, containing Phoenician Women, Bacchae, Iphigenia at Aulis, Orestes, and Rhesus completes the new editions of Euripides in Penguin Classics.

Review: This is the third volume of Euripides I have recently enjoyed. About Easter I began to read and study classical literature. Some I had previously read, Dante’s “vision” , “Paradise Lost”, and Homer.

Feel priviledged to have access to this ancient world with it’s eternal truths and wisdom. Now I have read the Iliad again, in Penguin DeLuxe edition; will gladly get to know more of these.I especially enjoyed the Comedies of Terence…just as if one had a front stalls seat in the theatre! The notes at the back of these books are of great help, particularly in the Oxford World’s Classics series.

Euripides “Hecuba” should not be missed and I heard a most interesting interview with Frank McGuiness on his staging of this great work, by way of iTunes and my iPod! I am a pensioner with an appetite for learning, trying to make up for my laziness as a schoolboy.
