Notă biografică

Euripides was born near Athens between 485 and 480 BC and grew upduring the years of Athenian recovery after the Persian Wars. His firstplay was presented in 455 BC and he wrote some hundred altogether. Hislater plays are marked by a sense of disillusion at the futility ofhuman aspiration which amounts on occasion to a philosophy ofabsurdism. A year or two before his death he left Athens to live at thecourt of the king of Macedon, dying there in 406 BC. Nineteen of hisplays survive, including Hippolytos, The Bacchae, Iphigeneia at Aulis,Hecuba, Medea, and The Trojan Women.

Descriere

Wronged and discarded by her husband, Medea gradually reveals herrevenge in its increasing horror, while the audience is led tounderstand the incomprehensible. This Student Edition contains a fullintroduction, commentary and questions for study and includes J.Michael Walton's classic translation.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

One of the most powerful and enduring of Greek tragedies, Medea centers on the myth of Jason, leader of the Argonauts, who has won the dragon-guarded treasure of the Golden Fleece with the help of the sorceress Medea. Having married Medea and fathered her two children, Jason abandons her for a more favorable match, never suspecting the terrible revenge she will take. Euripides' masterly portrayal of the motives fiercely driving Medea's pursuit of vengeance for her husband's insult and betrayal has held theater audiences spellbound for more than twenty centuries. Rex Warner's authoritative translation brings this great classic of world literature vividly to life.

Recenzii

"The excellent Introduction by Robin Mitchell-Boyask displays an admirable command of up-to-date scholarship and judiciously leaves controversial matters open to one's own interpretation. Arnson Svarlien's verse translation has both elegance and power -- it reads well, not just to the eye, but (happily for the director and actors) also to the ear." -- Ian Storey, Department of Classics, Trent University
Diane Arnson Svarlien's body of work means a quantum leap forward in the vibrancy and immediacy of classical verse drama. I first learned of her work when I was searching, madly, for a translation of Medea for a production I had been hired to direct. I sought out every published version. I tried to track down any unpublished ones rumored to exist. All the others were wanting; her translation was revelatory. Merely read her translation of the play, then read another. You will sense the difference. This is particularly true if you are a practitioner of theatre.--Patrick Wang, Director of Diane Arnson Svarlien's Medea in its world premiere at the Stella Adler Studio, and of the feature film In the Family, nominated for a "Best First Feature" Independent Spirit Award. Retrieved from monkeyatatypewriter.com.
This is the Medea we have been waiting for. It offers clarity without banality, eloquence without pretension, meter without doggerel, accuracy without clumsiness. No English Medea can ever be Euripides', but this is as close as anyone has come so far, and a good deal closer than I thought anyone would ever come. Arnson Svarlien has shown herself exceedingly skillful in making Euripides sound Euripidean.--David M. Schaps, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
Fluid, lively, and accurate!Amy Vail, Department of Classics, Baylor University
