Euripides: Scenes from Iphigenia in Aulis and Iphigenia in Tauris
Euripides: Scenes from Iphigenia in Aulis and Iphigenia in Tauris
Backanterna ; Ifigenia I Aulis
Euripides är den yngste av de tre stora grekiska tragöderna, och Backanterna och Ifigenia i Aulis blev hans sista tragedier. De uppfördes först efter författarens död år 406 f.Kr. och bildar en magnifik slutpunkt på den klassiska grekiska dramatiken. I Backanterna kommer guden Dionysos till Thebe i Grekland och kräver att bli erkänd. Kung Pentheus möter honom med arrogans och misstro, och gudens hämnd blir grym - han är »oändligt fruktansvärd, och med oändlig mildhet«. I dramat ställs den övermodiga rationalismen mot den mogna livsvisdomen. I Ifigenia i Aulis drabbas den grekiska hären av stiltje på sin väg till Troja. För att ge grekerna förlig vind kräver gudinnan Artemis att deras ledare Agamemnon ska offra sin dotter Ifigenia. Agamemnon hamnar i en till synes olöslig konflikt, där kärleken till dottern ställs mot pliktkänslan och omgivningens tryck. Dramerna är översatta av Göran O. Eriksson och Jan Stolpe. Den senare har även skrivit förord och kommentarer.

Medea and Other Plays
Euripides, along was Sophocles, and Aeschylus, is largely responsible for the rise of Greek tragedy. It was in the 5th Century BC, during the height of Greece's cultural bloom, that Euripides lived and worked. Of his roughly ninety-two plays, only seventeen tragedies survive. Both ridiculed and lauded during his life, Euripides now stands as an innovator of the Greek drama. Collected here are six of Euripides' tragedies in prose translation by Edward P. Coleridge: 'Medea', 'Hippolytus', 'Hecuba', 'Electra', 'Heracles', and 'Helen'. The first play in this collection, 'Medea', tells the horrific tale of a woman who seeks revenge on her husband by killing her children. 'Hippolytus' relates the tragedy of its titular character, son of Theseus, and his tragic fall at the hands of Phaedra. 'Hecuba' is the tale of a fallen Queen, the grief she feels for the death of her daughter, and the revenge she takes for the murder of her son. In 'Electra' we find the daughter of a slain king plotting
