The Bacchae and Other Plays (Penguin Classics)

Excellent collection giving a view of Euripides and of Ancient Greek thought.

Overall, so very modern

Quick service, good quality, good value for money thanks.

There's a reason why Euripedes is still published thousands of years after these plays were written. The Bacchae is one of the best stories I've ever read.

Euripides is one of my favourite ancient Greek authors and this volume was a replacement for a lost copy of the same. Many thanks.

This is the third volume of Euripides I have recently enjoyed. About Easter I began to read and study classical literature, all bought from Amazon U.K. Some I had previously read, Dante's "vision" , "Paradise Lost", and Homer. Feel priviledged to have access to this ancient world with it's eternal truths and wisdom. Now I have read the Iliad again, in Penguin DeLuxe edition; will gladly get to know more of these. I enjoyed especially the Comedies of Terence...just as if one had a front stalls seat in the theatre! The notes at the back of these books are of great help, particularly in the Oxford World's Classics series. Euripides "Hecuba" should not be missed and I heard a most interesting interview with Frank McGuiness on his staging of this great work, by way of iTunes and my iPod! I am a pensioner with an appetite for learning, trying to make up for my laziness as a schoolboy and, thanks to Amazon U.K.this I am doing! Malcolm, from Northern England but long time resident of Norway.

Euripides is one of the great playwrights of classical Greece and with this collection (in translation) you have his complete works - as far as they exist. I bought it because I am writing a series of poems based on Dionysus to accompany an exhibition by Mike Healey in Corfu early next year but you should buy this if you want to touch base with the ancient origins of great drama.

This version was supposed to include: Phoenician Women, Orestes, The Bacchae, Iphigenia in Aulis, and Rhesus. However, it actually contained: Ion, The Women of Troy, Helen, and The Bacchae. Not a big deal if you want The Bacchae and don't care about the rest, but I needed the rest as well.

I cannot stand one damage to my books. So when my new book arrives with scratches and tears not enough to warrant a return but just enough to make me cry, it destroys me. The content is undoubtedly awesome! Major help for my academic work plus entertainment. Has so many great plays at one place
