Greek Tragedies III: Aeschylus: The Eumenides; Sophocles: Philoctetes, Oedipus at Colonus; Euripides: The Bacchae, Alcestis (The Complete Greek Tragedies Book 3) Third Edition, Kindle Edition

by Aeschylus (Author), Sophocles (Author), Euripides (Author), Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 49 ratings
This anthology collects some of the most important plays by Ancient Greek tragedians, in updated translations with new introductions.

Greek Tragedies, Volume III presents some of the finest and most fundamental works of Western dramatic literature. It draws together plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides from Chicago’s acclaimed nine-volume series, Complete Greek Tragedies. This third edition updates the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which they are famous. New introductions for each play provide essential information about the production histories and the stories themselves.

This volume contains Aeschylus’s “The Eumenides,” translated by Richmond Lattimore; Sophocles’s “Philoctetes,” translated by David Grene; Sophocles’s “Oedipus at Colonus,” translated by Robert Fitzgerald; Euripides’s “The Bacchae,” translated by William Arrowsmith; and Euripides’s “Alecestis,” translated by Richmond Lattimore.

    Great and engaging translations, but don't read the short introductions if you're not already familiar with the corresponding tragedies - spoiler alerts are not issued. The commentary at the back is very brief as to not burden the reader, but quite helpful. The cover art is also very appealing, definite bookshelf material.

    I used all three in this series for a college course and I'd highly recommend them. The translations aren't overly clunky and they were easy to understand.

    2.0 out of 5 stars The Kindle Edition Has an Unnecessary, Annoying Pan/Zoom Pop-Up Widow Feature
    Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    The book is an excellent collection of exemplary translations of Greek tragedies. However, the Kindle version of this book is now formatted so that an annoying Pan/Zoom pop-up window appears in the middle of the screen every time the reader attempts to go to the next page in the accustomed manner by tapping the screen. The reader can go forward or backward only by swiping the screen. If the swipe is done imprecisely, up comes the annoying Pan/Zoom window. This feature may be useful for reading some fixed type size PDFs, but it is a useless annoyance when trying to read a regular Kindle book. The type size is easy to adjust using the top menu. Why would anyone want to change type size on random pages using the Zoom pop-up window feature? Panning is usually not possible or necessary because all the text fits within the screen.

    It requires a special kind of genius to take something that is working well and "improve" it by adding useless annoyances. The Kindle version of this book, and any other Kindle book, should not require the Pan/Zoom pop-up window feature. This feature is an unnecessary annoyance for readers who just want to read a Kindle book in the ordinary manner without panning and zooming every page.

    Do not buy the kindle edition of this book if you need to discuss it in class or cite it in a paper. There are no page numbers and the line numbers are completely messed up. I mean seriously, how can there be 8 lines between line 10 and line 15? What was the publisher/editor thinking?
