Women on the Edge, a collection of Alcestis, Medea, Helen, and Iphegenia at Aulis, provides a broad sample of Euripides' plays focusing on women, and spans the chronology of his surviving works, from the earliest, to his last, incomplete, and posthumously produced masterpiece. Each play shows women in various roles--slave, unmarried girl, devoted wife, alienated wife, mother, daughter--providing a range of evidence about the kinds of meaning and effects the category woman conveyed in ancient Athens. The female protagonists in these plays test the boundaries--literal

Aufgrund seiner Vielschichtigkeit gehört der Ion zu den am schwersten fassbaren Tragödien des Euripides. Theologie, Politik und Gattungsgesetze sind nur drei der Themen, die in der Forschung zu dieser Tragödie über einen ausgesetzten und wiedergefundenen athenischen Prinzen und Sohn des Apoll kontrovers diskutiert werden. Der vorliegende Kommentar liefert eine Neuedition des Textes zusammen mit detaillierten Erläuterungen, die auf sprachliche Schwierigkeiten ebenso eingehen wie auf literarische und dramaturgische Fragen. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf Elementen, durch die zeitgenössische soziale, rechtliche und poltische Ideen und Institutionen in die mythische Handlung integriert werden. Die Einleitung behandelt neben den großen interpretatorischen Problemen auch die Bearbeitung des Mythos durch Euripides, die Datierung und die Geschichte des Texts. So erhält die Diskussion des Stückes sowohl in den Einzelheiten als auch im Ganzen eine neue Grundlage.

The two volumes of essays and translations of the tragedies of Sophocles and Euripides are the accumulation of some twelve years' of producing ancient plays for contemporary audiences and actors. The play-texts themselves, therefore, are intended to be accessible and speakable, in the first instance, and to convey as much of the flavour of the original Greek as any translation is able. They are there to be used. The style, though personal to a degree, is an attempt to maintain the tone and t...

The modern reader may have difficulty conceiving of Iphigeneia in Tauris as tragedy, for the term in our sense is associated with downfall, death, and disaster. But to the ancient Greeks, the use of heroic legend, the tragic diction and meters, and the tragic actors would have defined it as pure tragedy, the happy ending notwithstanding. While not one of his "deep" dramatic works, the play is Euripidean in many respects, above all in its recurrent theme of escape, symbolized in the rescue of Iphigeneia by Artemis, to whom she was about to be sacrificed. Richmond Lattimore--who has been called the dean of American translators--has translated Iphigeneia in Tauris with skill and subtlety, revealing it as one of the most delicately written and beautifully contrived of the Euripidean "romances.".
