Suppliant Women. Electra. Heracles by Euripides

Three plays by ancient Greece’s third great tragedian. One of antiquity's greatest poets, Euripides has been prized in every age for the pathos, terror, and intellectual probing of his dramatic creations. The new Loeb Classical Library edition of his plays is in six volumes. Volume III contains three plays. Suppliant Women reflects on the rule of law; Electra gives Euripides' version of the legend of Clytaemestra's murder by her children; Heracles testifies to the fragility of human happiness.
