Orestes And Other Plays

By (author) Euripides, Translated by Robin Waterfield

€15.40

This is the fourth volume of Euripides plays in new translation. The four plays it contains, Ion, Orestes, The Phoenician Women and The Suppliant Women, explore ethical and political themes, contrasting the claims of patriotism with family loyalty, pragmatism with justice, the idea that ‘might is right’ with the ideal of clemency.
