Critics Review
“Diane Arnson Svarlien’s lively and accessible translations give an excellent sense of Euripides’ poetic resources, from his artful blend of conversational idiom and high style, to his powerful displays of rhetoric and emotion, to the expressive rhythms and images of his songs. They are sure to delight readers and listeners alike. Moreover, they have been shaped by judicious use of the best and latest scholarship. The plays in this volume will surprise readers used to tragedy on the Aristotelian pattern and stimulate reflection about what tragedy is and what it is for.” —John Gibert, Department of Classics, University of Colorado, Boulder
