<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Euripides Troades has been one of the most regularly read, performed, and adapted of Greek tragedies<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>With its savage indictment of the horrors of war as they affect women<br>and children on the losing side, Euripides Troades has been one of the<br>most regularly read, performed and adapted of Greek tragedies. It was<br>first produced in 415 BC just after the Athenians slaughter of the male<br>population of Melos and at the point where they were sending out the<br>ambitious Sicilian expedition. It therefore has major contemporary<br>political significance. Like Aeschylus Eumenides, it was performed as<br>the third play in a thematically linked trilogy and, though the other<br>two plays survive only in fragments, important inferences can be drawn<br>about our interpretation of the surviving play and Euripides use of the<br>trilogy form. Lee s edition, first published in the famous red<br>Macmillan series in 1976, is the most recent scholarly edition in<br>English. The detailed commentary discusses text, language, <br>interpretation and metre; there is a full introduction and for this<br>paperback edition Lee has added an up-to-date bibliography.
