This classic Greek drama depicts the fate of the children of Oedipus who die fighting against each other. Creon, their uncle, assumes leadership and issues an edict that the rebel Polynices be left unburied and unmourned.
Antigone , his sister, defies the edict and for her act she is punished by Creon who orders her to be sealed in a cave and left to die.

Summary/Abstract |
A drama about the cult of Dionysus, the vine god, which involved orgiastic and frenzied nature rites.
The king of Thebes, Pentheus, imprisons Dionysus when the latter, in disguise, attempts to propagate his cult among the women of Thebes. This thwarting of a God's will leads to catastrophe. The play is a probing into man's psychological makeup and understanding of himself.

Summary/Abstract |
Euripides' most famous and influential play is made accessible to students of Greek reading their first tragedy. It analyses Medea as a revenge-plot, evaluates the strands of motivation that lead her to her tragic insistence on killing her own children.
Mastronarde has brought readers of Medea up to date, set out for us the scholarly discussion while cogently advancing it, and given us the tools to make our own judgements.

Summary/Abstract |
The most controversial of Greek tragedies, Euripides is also the most modernin his sympathies, a dramatist who handles the complex emotions of his characters with extraordinary depth and insight. Wronged and discarded by her husband, Medea gradually reveals her revenge in its increasing horror, while the audience is led to understand the incomprehensible;a woman who murders her own children. Since its first production in 431 BC, The play has exerted an irresistible fascination for actors and directors alike.

Summary/Abstract |
Philip Vellacott has provided excellent translations and commentaries on four of the plays of Euripides, including his classic "Medea." "Medea" is a study in how unbridled passion can overcome reason and lead to tragedy. This may be particularly pertinent with respect to the ongoing war between Athens and Sparta at the time the play was first presented. Medea, who had helped Jason in his quest, become his wife, and given him two sons, feels betrayed since he is marrying the daughter of the ruler of Corinth. With horrible vengence, she kills the bride and the king and then her two sons. "Hecabe" is a play about the wife of Priam, King of Troy, and the mother of Hector, Paris, Cassandra, and others. At the start of this play, the war between the Greeks and Troy is over and Hecabe is now a slave of Agamemnon. The ghost of Achilles had appeared and demanded a sacrifice over his tomb before the Greeks can set sail for home. They vote to sacrifice Polyxena, Hecabe's young daughter, despite the tears and entreaties of Hecabe. After Polyxena's noble death, Hecabe learns that her last child Polydorus had been murdered by the King of Thrace, Polymestor, to whom Polydorus had been sent for safekeeping. This finally drives Hecabe mad and she seeks vengence for Polydorus's death. Euripedes shows in this play the effects of war and vengence on innocent lives and how cruel men at war can be. "Electra" is another retelling of the vengence story of Electra and Orestes. In this version, they are less heroic and more realistic then the way they are portrayed by Aeschylus and Sophocles
