Books Included in This Lot:

📚 The Imagery of Euripides: A Study in the Dramatic Use of Pictorial Language by Shirley A. Barlow (Bristol Classical Press) First published in 1971, Barlow's work proposes to redefine imagery and study the ways in which pictorial language works dramatically within the separate modes of Euripidean tragedy. Bryn Mawr Classical Review Widely recognized as a standard reference in Euripidean scholarship, this study by the former Lecturer in Classical Studies at the University of Kent explores the poet's unique visual imagination — including his use of descriptive imagery, epithet, color, and light to achieve dramatic effects no previous scholar had fully analyzed.

📚 Euripides' Alcestis: With Notes and Commentary by C.A.E. Luschnig and H.M. Roisman (University of Oklahoma Press) Euripides' Alcestis — perhaps the most anthologized Attic drama — is an ideal text for students reading their first play in the original Greek. Luschnig and Roisman remedy the deficiencies of previous editions by offering notes suited for intermediate students, and have initiated a new method of introducing students to current scholarship through a Discussion section that engages the major interpretative concerns and controversies about the play.

📚 Approaches to Teaching the Dramas of Euripides edited by Robin Mitchell-Boyask (Modern Language Association) A practical volume and tool designed for a specific purpose. There is something of use here for all teachers of Euripides, whether beginning instructors and nonspecialists or more established teachers and scholars — whether students are novices reading one play in a Great Books survey or graduate students in a Euripides seminar. Bryn Mawr Classical Review Includes an annotated bibliography of texts, translations, films, and resources, plus sixteen scholarly essays on teaching individual plays and major themes.

📚 Euripides: Ten Plays translated by Paul Roche (Signet Classics) Of all the ancient Greek dramatists, Euripides has the most to say to modern readers. His principal themes — the oppression of women, the folly of war, and the tensions between freedom and order, faith and reason, dogma and fact — are as relevant today as they were millennia ago. The plays continue to shock, inspire, and remind us what it means to be human. T his collection contains ten of his greatest works — Alcestis , Hippolytus , Ion , Electra , Iphigenia at Aulis , Iphigenia Among the Taurians , Medea , The Bacchae , The Trojan Women , and The Cyclops — translated by the distinguished poet Paul Roche, with a general introduction, short introductions to each play, and a glossary of names.
