یوریپیدس: زنان فنیقی (متن کلاسیک/متون یونانی) (نسخه یونانی باستان)

This rich and challenging play ranges over the supreme myth of Oidipous and his doomed family. With its brooding imagery, extravagant language, ebullient rhetoric and scenic display it is quintessential Euripides. With its broad, yet unified, thematic sweep it offers important points of comparison with other Theban plays and valuable insights into late fifth century religion, politics and society.For this volume Elizabeth Craik has prepared a new edition of the play, with a selective apparatus. Suspect lines are clearly marked; but the fundamental integrity of the tradition is defended. Text with facing translation, commentary and notes. Peter Burian and Brian Swann recreate Euripides' The Phoenician Women which explores, with all its deeply disturbing ironies, the fateful history of the House of Laios following the tragic fall of Oedipus, King of Thebes. Their lively translation of this controversial play reveals the cohesion and taut organization of a complex dramatic work. Peter Burian and Brian Swann re-create Euripides' controversial play in a new translation accompanied by critical introductions, stage directions, a glossary of mythical Greek terms, and a commentary on difficult passages. Euripides ; Edited With Translation And Commentary By Elizabeth Craik. English And Greek. Includes Index. Bibliography: P. 26-31.
