| 1. | ![]() | Medea (Greek Tragedy in New Translations)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Customer Review:
I've heard a few professors say that while the Dover Thrift Editions are very economical for cash-strapped college students, the translations are hit or miss.

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $10.36
Customer Review:
I, too, was surprised how relevant and easily modern the issues presented in 'Medea' could be.

Customer Review:
After teaching years of sophomore English, I have finally found a version of Antigone that even 15 and 16-year-olds can understand and appreciate. Still loads of figurative language to teach and what an author to introduce your students to alongside Sophocles! | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Vellacott's translations of Euripides are the greatest voice anyone has given Euripides...
This last volume contains high voltage energy! The Bacchae is his masterpiece and the main attraction!
The only thing about this edition is that Vellacott in the 1970's revised his original putting... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
