4.0 out of 5 stars
Not the greatest e-book translation, but still pretty decent,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hippolytus/The Bacchae (Kindle Edition)
Euripides was the last in the line of tragic playwrights after Aeschylus and Sophocles. From a play standpoint, he was the first person to really introduce the deux ex machina tool and had a really good rhyming scheme, although the plays are not up to the level (I think) of Sophocles.
This particular free Kindle book is halfway decent. One of the things that seems common to some transcriptions is that when a character has lots of lines of dialog, it's condensed into paragraph form. In a way it's more difficult to read because you can't get a feel of the rhyme and meter of the play. But it's still a decent read and a good introduction to Ancient Greek plays. And it's free. So, what's not to like? |
