Review:
"Taplin's eminently readable version of this harrowing tragedy justifies his reputation as one of our foremost experts in dramatic criticism, whose pioneering efforts in illuminating ancient stagecraft remain indispensable today."--Froma Zeitlin, Princeton University
"Euripides's influential and provocative "Medea" continues to be read, performed, adapted, and reinterpreted in multiple contexts across the globe. Taplin's accessible and performable, yet vivid and poetic translation makes the play available to a modern audience while doing justice to both its complexities and its horrific power."--Helene P. Foley, Barnard College, Columbia University
"Taplin translates "Medea" into clear and contemporary English while reflecting well the different registers and tones that create the subtle texture of Greek tragedy. His version is eminently speakable, but also highly faithful to the original Greek, making it ideal for instructors and readers who want to study closely the specific metaphors and terms that carry the classic themes of this influential drama."--Donald J. Mastronarde, University of California, Berkeley

Euripides (c. 484 - 406 BC) is traditionally portrayed as a recluse who composed poetry in a cave by the sea, near Salamis. Audiences were fascinated by his innovative, often disturbing dramas and he was regarded as a conroversial and 'clever' poet. Towards the end of his life he went to live at the court of Archelaus, King of Macedon, and it was there that he wrote his great work THE BACCHAE. He is thought to have written about ninety-two plays.
