«Tragedias troyanas» is the volume of Greek tragedies by Euripides published by RBA in hardcover (307 pages, in Spanish).
The book collects a selection of Euripides' tragedies around the Trojan War and shows the reverse of epic heroism: the horror, the mourning, and the fate of the losers. In these works, the suffering of captives and the human cost of the conflict take center stage.
This edition was published in 1992 within RBA's Historia de la Literatura collection.
Aimed at students of classical literature and readers interested in Greek theater and the Trojan myth.
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.
