Review
''Directness, vivid imagery, and rhetorical music prevail.''β_San Francisco Chronicle_
Praise for the Penn Greek Drama Series:
''These three new volumes of plays constitute a boon for classicists and general readers alike. For the reader who comes to tragedy for the first time, these translations are eminently 'accessible,' and consummately American in tone and feeling. For the classicist, these versions constitute an ambitious reinterpretation of traditional masterpieces; after 2,500 years, the poetry of Euripides and Aeschylus has found a new voiceβin fact, ten of them.''β_Boston Book Review_

Collected here are all 11 of his surviving plays-newly translated by the distinguished poet and translator Paul Roche.
