An exceptionally compelling translation that captures the feel of the originalThe introduction and the end material add several useful dimensions. Highly recommended! * George Perreault, Gonzaga University *
Braun's translation is as steely as the Greek and his introduction cuts through to the heart of the play. * J.P. Sullivan, University of California, Santa Barbara *
Praise for the series:
While every reader may have a favorite translation that does this or that differently, these are finely modulated to seem neither foolishly colloquial nor irritatingly archaic. The great delight of this series, for me, are the first-rate brief introductions, the practical and wise notes, the enormously useful classical glossary. This series is likely to be a standard for years to come. * Kliatt Young Adult Paperback Guide *
The transaltion is very readable....Notes are very helpful. * Brad Wright, Cornell University *
The translation, introduction, notes, appendix, and glossary should attract the intelligent reader. The translation itself is accurate and of high quality. * Patricia P. Watsen, University of South Carolina *
