Orestes

by Euripides

Published 30 January 1984
Celebrated for its dramatic ingenuity, Euripides's earlier version of the myth that Aeschylus made famous has not been revised in English since 1895. Popular in antiquity and important in the development of classical Greek tragedy, this play is now offered in an expanded edition, which includes a detailed discussion of lyric meter and a consideration of many textual changes.
