Written at the height of the Peloponnesian War, the three plays in this
volume highlight the trivial causes and dire consequences of war and
the fate of the innocent

In Andromache, Hektor’s widow struggles to survive as the concubine of her husband’s killer

Herakles’ Children and Herakles show his two young families, without his powerful protection at the mercy of his enemies

Full of humanity and subtle characterisation, these new translations by Robert Cannon and Kenneth McLeish which are intended both for performer and student, Euripides is reaffirmed as a fresh and compelling dramatist
