Publisher Description "Euripides, the Athenian playwright who dared to question the whims of wanton gods, has always been the most intriguing of the Greek tragedians. Now, with translations aimed at the stage rather than the page, his restless intellect strikes the chordThis volume contains some of Euripides most famous works: Elektra, which reverses previous notions of heroic behaviour; Orestes, in which almost all the characters are driven by base motives of cowardice or revenge; Iphigeneia in Tauris who presumes her brother Orestes dead and her mother Klytemnestra and stepfather Aigisthos still living, is visited by a surprise guest.Elektra, Oresetes and Iphigeneia in Tauris were performed together as Agamemnons children at The Gate Theatre in 1995 and show the consequences of Agamemnons "sacrifice" of his daughter at the start of the Trojan war. Author Biography Euripides was born near Athens between 485 and 480 BC.

He died in 406 BC. Kenneth McLeish studied Classics and Music at Worcester College, Oxford.
