Electra of Euripides is a Greek tragedy written by Euripides, a renowned playwright of ancient Greece. The play revolves around Electra, the daughter of King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra, who seeks revenge for her father's murder. The story takes place after the Trojan War, where Agamemnon returns home only to be killed by his wife and her lover, Aegisthus. Electra is left to mourn her father's death and live in poverty, while her mother and Aegisthus rule the kingdom. In the play, Electra is joined by her brother, Orestes, who returns home to avenge their father's death. Together, they plan and execute their revenge, leading to a dramatic and tragic conclusion. The play explores themes of justice, revenge, and the consequences of one's actions. It is considered one of Euripides' most powerful works and a masterpiece of Greek tragedy.1913. The Electra of Euripides has the distinction of being, perhaps, the best abused, and, one might add, not the best understood, of ancient tragedies. The Electra has none of the imaginative splendor, the vastness, the intense poetry, of the tragedy of The Trojan Woman. It is a close-knit, powerful, well-constructed play, as realistic as the tragic conventions will allow, intellectual and rebellious. Its psychology reminds one of Browning or even of Ibsen. In this book, the Electra is translated into English rhyming verse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

""Iphigenie in Aulis"" ist ein Trauerspiel in f¿¿¿¿¿nf Akten, das von Euripides im Jahr 1790 verfasst wurde. Es erz¿¿¿¿¿hlt die Geschichte von Agamemnon, dem K¿¿¿¿¿¿nig von Mykene, der seine Tochter Iphigenie opfern muss, um die Gunst der G¿¿¿¿¿¿tter zu gewinnen und eine g¿¿¿¿¿nstige Windrichtung f¿¿¿¿¿r seine Flotte zu erhalten, die gegen Troja ziehen soll. Iphigenie ist zun¿¿¿¿¿chst entsetzt, als sie von dem Plan erf¿¿¿¿¿hrt, aber sie akzeptiert schlie¿¿¿¿¿lich ihr Schicksal und stirbt f¿¿¿¿¿r das Wohl ihres Volkes. Das St¿¿¿¿¿ck thematisiert die Konflikte zwischen individuellen W¿¿¿¿¿nschen und dem Wohl der Gemeinschaft sowie die Frage nach der moralischen Verantwortung von Herrschern.

This useful edition includes Ferguson's introduction to the history of Greek theatre along with full notes and vocabulary.

With its savage indictment of the horrors of war as they affect women and children on the losing side, Euripides Troades has been one of the most regularly read, performed and adapted of Greek tragedies. It was first produced in 415 BC just after the Athenians slaughter of the male population of Melos and at the point where they were sending out the ambitious Sicilian expedition. It therefore has major contemporary political significance. Like Aeschylus Eumenides, it was performed as the third play in a thematically linked trilogy and, though the other two plays survive only in fragments, important inferences can be drawn about our interpretation of the surviving play and Euripides use of the trilogy form. Lee's edition, first published in the famous "red Macmillan" series in 1976, is the most recent scholarly edition in English. The detailed commentary discusses text, language, interpretation and metre; there is a full introduction and for this paperback edition there is an additional up-to-date bibliography.

Euripides takes the old myth of Orestes' and Elektra's revenge on their mother Klytemnestra for their father Agamemnon's murder and reinterprets it in realistic, human terms. This translation was first performed together with 'Orestes and Iphigeneia in Tauris' as 'Agamemnon's Children' at the Gate Theatre, London, in 1995.
