Download or read book The Rhesus Attributed to Euripides written by Marco Fantuzzi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragedy Rhesus has come down to us among the plays of Euripides but was probably the work either of fourth-century BC actors or producers heavily rewriting his original play or of a fourth-century author writing in competition. This edition explores the play as a 'postclassical' tragedy, composed when the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides had become the 'classical' canon. Its stylistic mannerisms, cerebral re-use of the motifs and language of fifth-century tragedy, and endemic experimentalism with various models of intertextuality exemplify the anxiety of influence of the Rhesus as a text that 'comes after' fifth-century drama and Book 10 of the Iliad. The anachronistic adaptations of the world of the epic heroes to the new reality of the polis and the irresistible rise of Macedonian power also reveal the Rhesus attempting to be both seriously intertextual with its models and seriously different from them.

Download or read book Suppliant Women written by Euripides and published by Greek Tragedy in New Translations. This book was released on 1995 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can properly recreate the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations series offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals. Under the editorship of Peter Burian and Alan Shapiro, each volume includes a critical introduction, commentary on the text, full stage directions, and a glossary of the mythical and geographical references in the plays. Already tested in performance on the stage, this translation shows for the first time in English the striking interplay of voices in Euripides' Suppliant Women. Torn between the mothers' lament over the dead and proud civic eulogy, between calls for a just war and grief for the fallen, the play captures with unremitting force the competing poles of the human psyche. The translators, Rosanna Warren and Stephen Scully, accentuate the contrast between female lament and male reasoned discourse in this play where the silent dead hold, finally, center stage.

Download or read book Euripides V written by Euripides and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Euripides V includes the plays “The Bacchae,” translated by William Arrowsmith; “Iphigenia in Aulis,” translated by Charles R. Walker; “The Cyclops,” translated by William Arrowsmith; and “Rhesus,” translated by Richmond Lattimore. Sixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a momentous project: a new translation of the Greek tragedies that would be the ultimate resource for teachers, students, and readers. They succeeded. Under the expert management of eminent classicists David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render the surviving masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard translations. Today, Chicago is taking pains to ensure that our Greek tragedies remain the leading English-language versions throughout the twenty-first century. In this highly anticipated third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which our English versions are famous. This edition also includes brand-new translations of Euripides’ Medea, The Children of Heracles, Andromache, and Iphigenia among the Taurians, fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus, and the surviving portion of Sophocles’s satyr-drama The Trackers. New introductions for each play offer essential information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond. In addition, each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays. In addition to the new content, the volumes have been reorganized both within and between volumes to reflect the most up-to-date scholarship on the order in which the plays were originally written. The result is a set of handsome paperbacks destined to introduce new generations of readers to these foundational works of Western drama, art, and life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rhesus of Euripides It will be convenient, however, for the sake Of clearness, to give a short Sketch of the plot, in spite of the familiarity Of the subject-matter. Achilles having withdrawn his forces, the Greeks are no longer able to resist the onslaught of Hector. A day Of disaster has forced them to take refuge behind the rampart Of their naval camp. The victorious Trojans are spending the night around their fires on the Open plain. The play begins with the arrival Of a body of excited sentries (forming the chorus) who rush into the orchestra and loudly call on Hector. It is past midnight, but they have noticed a blaze Of light in the camp of the foe. Hector, rising in haste, verifies their report, and concludes that the Greeks are meditating im mediate flight. TO check their design he is about to order a night attack on the Greek rampart, when Aeneas Opportunely appears and persuades him before taking action to send out a spy to investigate the mystery. Hector accordingly appeals for a Volunteer, and Dolon, one Of his Offers him self for the enterprise on condition of receiving as his share Of the spoils of victory the horses of Achilles. The bargain completed, he retires to disguise himself for his mission. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
