Euripides, a pivotal figure in Greek tragedy, is celebrated for his innovative storytelling and complex characters during Greece's cultural peak in the 5th Century BC. This collection features six of his surviving tragedies, translated by Edward P. Coleridge. Each play explores profound themes of revenge, grief, and heroism: "Medea" depicts a mother's horrific vengeance, "Hippolytus" tells of tragic downfall, "Hecuba" reveals a queen's sorrow and retribution, while "Electra," "Heracles," and "Helen" delve into family loyalty and alternate histories. A must-read for drama enthusiasts.
