A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Euripides (c. 480 – 406 BC) was one of the three great tragedians of classical Athens, the other two being Aeschylus and Sophocles. Some ancient scholars attributed ninety-five plays to him but according to the Suda it was ninety-two at most. Of these, eighteen or nineteen have survived complete (there has been debate about his authorship of Rhesus, largely on stylistic grounds) and there are also fragments, some substantial, of most of the other plays. More of his plays have survived intact than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly due to mere chance and partly because his popularity grew as theirs declined—he became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education, along with Homer, Demosthenes and Menander.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Trojan Women written by legendary Athenian playwright Euripides is widely considered to be one of the top Greek tragedies of all time. This great classic will surely attract a whole new generation of readers. For many, The Trojan Women is required reading for various courses and curriculums. And for others who simply enjoy reading timeless pieces of classic literature, this gem by Euripides is highly recommended. Published by Classic Books America and beautifully produced, The Trojan Women would make an ideal gift and it should be a part of everyone's personal library.
