An acclaimed translator of Euripidean tragedy in its earlier and
more familiar modes, Diane Arnson Svarlien now turns to three plays

accurate, accessible, and stageworthy versions that preserve the
metrical and musical form of the originals. Matthew Wright's
Introduction and notes offer illuminating guidance to first-time
readers of Euripides, while pointing up the appeal of this
distinctive grouping of plays.
