Published in the new Methuen Classical Dramatists series.

Always controversial, Euripides' plays are now celebrated for the subtlety of their characterisation and their unorthodox dramatic style.

This volume contains three of his finest tragedies: Medea, the abandoned wife, who murders her own children; The Phoenician Women, a further twist in the story of Oedipus and Jocasta; and Bacchae, a macabre and complex play, about the power and irrationality of Dionysos.
