Ten Plays Euripides, translated by Moses Hadas and John Mclean, gives a solidly satisfying experience of the works of the Greek playwright. Euripides is often considered the least significant of the three great tragedians of Athens in the 5th century BC, behind Aeschylus and Sophocles, and of the time that was undoubtedly true he did not win as much praise. However there happens to be more surviving plays from Euripides than there are from other two combined (17 compared to 14). This book has the translations of ten of the seventeen.I have never read Euripides before this, so I can’t compare this to another translation. It is an interesting one, more concerned with accuracy to what was stated than of trying to emulate Greek poetic meter (as for Instance “Electra and other Plays”, which was my first foray into the ancient Greek theater, was more going for). The more notable tragedies include ‘Electra’, ‘Medea’, and the posthumous completed ‘Iphigenia at Aulis’. Among the standouts for me of the Euripides’ works are Ion, ‘Alcestis’, and ‘Electra’ (though I prefer the Sophocles version of the last).My personal favorite of them all is ‘The Trojan Women’. It takes place the field of Troy just after the epic war’s conclusion, the city burnt down and many legends having been killed on both sides. Survivors of the conquered city, set to be slaves or concubines for the Greeks, are led off by the men to the ships to be taken away forever from their land. Among these captives are the widows of the late King Priam and Hector—Hecuba and Cassandra—and also Helen, wife of Menelaus, the woman whose going to Troy was the catalyst of the war. Though this was written by a Greek for Greeks, the sympathy is primarily with the Trojans who suffer, grieve, and in one notable case go mad from emotional hardship, while the Greeks sort of come off as pompous victors. But at its heart it is a set of entertaining and emotional interactions, occasionally grisly and disturbing as these tragedies tend to be (though this isn’t the most depressing story of the bunch) in the conflicts dealing with great moral issues about what a war’s aftermath, the relationship of conqueror and conquered, should be.Overall if you want a first foray into Euripides this should be a good read. If you’re looking for something that tries to emulate the style of the original dramas, then you might be a little disappointed, but it’s an interesting read none-the-less. There were one or two of the tragedies that were a bit of a slog, but most of them quite engaged me for most of the duration.

Not being able to translate Attic Greek, I can't comment on the translation; but I must say that these versions are wonderfully readable (MUCH more so than the translation I had to read in college, back before the Civil War). The translators provide introductions to each play and a general introduction that is extremely useful.The plays are heartbreaking...be warned. The Trojan Women and Medea have to be among the most shattering things ever written about war, love, faithlessness and despair, and I choose them only because the others are just slightly less monumental. These ten plays will bake themselves on your heart.My ONLY criticism, and it is a small one, is that the glossary of names and places at the end of the book, which is 4 meagre pages long, leaves out most of the things I wanted to know. In a future edition I would recommend that several more pages be included that have names on them that most of us would have to look up. (Who is Achilles' son? Neoptolemus. What is Amyclae? An ancient town near Sparta.) By all means buy this edition, but if you are not intimately conversant with the myths and stories of ancient Greece, be prepared to look things up. I found myself referring many times to Edith Hamilton's wonderful Mythology.

This is an excellent modern translation of Euripides' ten most well-known plays, including occasional footnotes to give context or enhance meaning. Roche provides an introduction to each play as well as a glossary for readers who are unfamiliar with Greek history/ mythology/ place names. I always turn to Roche whenever a Robert Fagles translation is unavailable (shameless plug: Fagles' translations of Aeschylus' Oresteia and Sophocles' Theban plays are sheer poetic brilliance and would bring enjoyment to any lover of Greek tragedy).

The Parthenon in Athens is a pale shadow of its former self, worn thin of former glory. Euripides remains fresh and vibrant as modern translations such as this keep alive the pathos common to all ages. We read of justice denied, justice taken and then ponder the definition of "justice" itself. The question remains unanswered today as it was in Euripides' time. We read of personal conscience versus laws of state and ponder the consequence of both action and inaction. How modern is this ancient dilemma? Euripides speaks to us all after some 2,400 years and causes us all to think just as he caused his fellow citizens of Athens to think. As Alexander Pope cautioned, "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring." So too, for those who contemplate buying "Ten Plays by Euripides," be prepared to think deeply or set this wonderful book aside for another day. The Kindle version is the way to go here with instant dictionary and encyclopedia access.
