Recenzii
Esposito's Bacchae is an excellent brief guide to the difficulties and complexities of this controversial play, and it will be welcomed by students and teachers alike… The translation itself is clear, strong and highly readable.
--Charles Segal, Harvard University

Notă biografică
Euripides is thought to have lived between 485 and 406 BC. He is considered to be one of the three great dramatists of Ancient Greece, alongside Aeschylus and Sophocles. He is particularly admired by modern audiences and readers for his characterization and astute and balanced depiction of human behaviour. Medea is his most famous work.
