Euripides changed the face of Greek tragedy with his treatment of the protagonist. His heroes are often ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, and their focus is mainly internal as they present monologues to express motives and feelings. These dramatic shifts give the modern reader a peek into the history of ancient Greece and the cultural changes it underwent during the lives of these great poets. This work contains Arthur S. Way’s translations of Iphigeneia at Aulis, Rhesus, Hecuba, The Daughters of Troy, Helen, Electra, Orestes, Iphigeneia in Taurica, Andromache, Cyclops, The Bacchanals, The Madness of Hercules, The Children of Hercules, The Phoenician Maidens, Suppliants, Ion, Hippolytus, Medea, and Alcestis.
