The Oedipus plays of Sophocles: The benefit of this scholarship is background data re extant manuscript editions to verify he textus receptus. In a few lines, Dodds gives background info on Euripides and the play. The student should always be aware that the scholar could be wrong in his interpretation, however excellent the scholarship. Studying Greek allows the student to read this type of scholarly work and make a meaningful contribution or interpretation of the play.
Even though the circumstances aren't current - citizens running off to the countryside to worship Bacchae - and the drama is not what moderns expect - most of the action takes place offstage, there is something in this play that is moving and still speaks to the human experience - at least it did to me. Perhaps it's simply that the characters are thoroughly invested in what they believe to be right and true - and they are also deluded - and pay heavily, the heaviest possible price. Impossible not to be moved by that fundamental human experience even if circumstances are completely different now.

I am not competent to judge the translation, other than it was easy to read. The notes were comprehensive, the opening introduction was very helpful.

I read this for the first time years ago. I read it again in preparation for writing the sequel to the Sparrow Princess, which will be told from the main antagonist's viewpoint. To say this is a story about a woman scorned doesn't even come close to describing the intensity of Medea's hate.
Although I could clearly see both sides of this conflict, it occurred to me that this tragedy repeats itself over and over again to varying degrees even until today. And like the story illustrates, the children are always the ones who suffer the most. This play is a classic that is part of our culture and should be read by every educated person. The story contains most fundamental human dilemmas and emotions.
The German language is classic and requires attention. That will be well worth. Feedback If you need help or have a question for Customer Service, contact us.
