Item description from seller

The Medea of Euripides (1960) by M.A. Bayfield Macmillan ISBN: None (because in 1960, Greek tragedy didn?t need barcodes?it had fate, doom, and the occasional deus ex machina instead). Condition: Good (and at Crappy Old Books, ?Good? means the book has survived sixty-odd years without being hurled offstage in a fit of Greek drama). M.A. Bayfield, classicist, translator, and brave soul, takes on one of the most infamous plays of the ancient world: Euripides? Medea . If you thought modern soap operas were wild, wait until you meet Medea, the wronged wife who rewrote the rulebook on revenge. Jason (yes, of the Argonauts fame) decides trading her in for a younger model is a fine idea?Medea, naturally, disagrees. What follows is not flowers and a custody battle, but the sort of vengeance that makes Greek tragedy so very? tragic. Bayfield?s edition, first published earlier and kept in print by Macmillan, offers the English reader not just a text but a deep dive into the themes, structure, and significance of Euripides? drama. Here, the translation and commentary strive to capture both the raw emotion and the intellectual bite of a play that shocked Athens in 431 BC and still has the power to send shivers down spines today. Inside you?ll find: Medea, the original avenging anti-heroine. Jason, learning the hard way that breaking up with a sorceress is rarely wise. Gods, fate, and a chorus that keeps reminding you things are only going to get worse. Bayfield?s crisp introduction and notes, for when you want your horror with a side of philology. Perfect for: Readers who like their literature ancient, bloody, and brilliant. Collectors of Macmillan?s mid-century classics, sturdy enough to withstand centuries of catharsis. Anyone who suspects the phrase ?Hell hath no fury? was seriously underselling it. At Crappy Old Books, this copy comes to you in Good condition: worn enough to prove it has been studied, but sound enough to continue whispering lines of doom and destiny. Think of it as a ticket to the ancient theatre?no sandals required, but possibly a stiff drink after. This is an ex-school book from Old Palace school in Croydon. It has a protective plastic sleeve to it. Some pages have helpful annotation to assist you with your understanding of all the gibberish.
