I hate this translator, mostly because of his editorial/directorial notes. Completely unneeded. Ugh to Paul Roche. His work on the translation itself was fine though.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553213636, Mass Market Paperback)

The first playwright of democracy, Euripides wrote with enduring insight and biting satire about social and political problems of Athenian life. In contrast to his contemporaries, he brought an exciting--and, to the Greeks, a stunning--realism to the "pure and noble form" of tragedy. For the first time in history, heroes and heroines on the stage were not idealized: as Sophocles himself said, Euripides shows people not as they ought to be, but as they actually are.
