Helen by Euripides
In this sensitive new translation by James Michie and Colin Leach, Euripides' fragile structure of subtlety, in both timing and tone, is beautifully preserved.
"The translation is clear and conveys well the sense of the original GreekI much prefer it to the others that are currently available. The introduction gives a good demonstration of the problems of interpretation critics of the play encounter. The notes are very clear and should be helpful to the Greekless reader."--Patricia P. Matsen, University of South Carolina "One can savour these beautiful individual editions."--John Dillon, Hermathena-Trinity College/Dublin "Skillfully represented."--Bernard Bredley, Kings College, London "Well edited, priced right."--Edna L. Steeves, University of Rhode Island "The translation is clear and conveys well the sense of the original Greek. I much prefer it to the others that are currently available.
