«Las Troyanas. Las Bacantes» is a theatre volume bringing together two tragedies by Euripides, published by Fontana in paperback (123 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two tragedies by Euripides. «Las Troyanas» shows the suffering of the women of Troy after the fall of the city, with loss, slavery and despair as its core themes. «Las Bacantes» delves into the world of the god Dionysus and his followers, the maenads, with madness, ecstasy and divine vengeance.
The edition, published in 1993, belongs to the Clásicos Universales collection and includes a Spanish translation of the two tragedies.
Euripides was a Greek tragedian of classical Athens. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he is one of the three authors of Greek tragedy whose name is ascribed to surviving plays. Some ancient scholars attributed ninety-five plays to him, but the Suda says it was ninety-two at most. Nineteen plays attributed to Euripides have survived more or less complete, although one of these (Rhesus) is often considered not to be genuinely his work. Many fragments survive from most of his other plays. More of his plays have survived intact than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly because his popularity grew as theirs declined: he became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education, along with Homer, Demosthenes, and Menander.
