Euripides: Iphigeneia at Aulis. The Greek Tragedy in New Translations.

Beschreibung

XII, 112 p. Seiten papierbedingt leicht gebräunt, sonst ein gutes Exemplar / Pages slightly browned due to paper, otherwise a good copy. - 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 general editorship of Herbert Golder and the late William Arrowsmith, 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. In their translation of Euripides Iphigeneia at Aulis, W.S. Merwin and George E. Dimock, Jr. offer a compelling look at the devastating consequence of "man s inhumanity to man." A stern critique of Greek culture, Iphigeneia at Aulis condemns the Trojan War, depicting the ugly and awesome power of political ambition. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 113.
