"Europides (484-407 BC) is the most modern of the great Greek tragedians, as the four plays in this volume demonstrate. 'Ion' is concerned with the problem of reconciling religious faith with the facts of human life, whilst 'The Women of Troy' is a plain denunciation of the ruthlessness of war. In 'Helen' Euripides light-heartedly parodied himself, and finally, in his last and probably greatest tragedy, 'The Bacchae', he dealt with mob violence and mass hysteria. Philip Vellacott's fluent translation and valuable introduction make it easier than ever for the modern reader to bridge the two thousand years between himself and these plays."
