«Tragedias: Alcestis, Medea, Hipólito, Electra» is the collection of tragedies by Euripides, published by FisicalBook in hardcover and in Spanish.
Four tragedies by Euripides set in the mythical Greek world: «Alcestis» narrates the sacrifice of a wife, «Medea» the price of revenge, «Hipólito» passion and chastity, and «Electra» family justice. Conflicts of honor, duty and revenge are the core of the classical theater gathered here.
The edition brings together the four tragedies of the title, with a direct translation from the Greek and notes by Alberto Medina González. ISBN: 9788474613971.
For lovers of classical theater, Greek mythology and ancient literature.
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.
