Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A rather cheap way to get a decent anthology of Greek dramas. However, the translations are rather poor compared to others more readily available. Also there are no notes associated with the texts, which is something most students greatly need. If cost is a factor, this might be an option for you, otherwise look elsewhere. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Contains
In power, passion, and the brilliant display of moral conflict, the drama of ancient Greece remains unsurpassed. For this volume, Professor Hadas chose nine plays which display the diversity and grandeur of tragedy, and the critical and satiric genius of comedy, in outstanding translations of the past and present. His introduction explores the religious origins, modes of productions, structure, and conventions of the Greek theater, individual prefaces illuminate each play and clarify the author's place in the continuity of Greek drama.
