The Hecuba, Orestes, Phoenician Virgins, And Medea Of Euripides (1837)

Euripides' collection features four compelling plays that delve into profound themes of love, betrayal, revenge, and the aftermath of war. "Hecuba" portrays the former queen of Troy's struggle for her children's survival post-sack. "Orestes" follows the haunted son of Agamemnon seeking vengeance against his mother. "Phoenician Virgins" examines the conflict between Oedipus's sons over Thebes. Lastly, "Medea" depicts a woman's devastating response to betrayal. This collection, translated by Arthur S. Way, preserves the essence of these ancient narratives.
