书籍简介

由于相信只有自己写诗的译者才能最好地再现埃斯库罗斯、索福克勒斯和欧里庇得斯的经典和永恒的悲剧，《牛津希腊悲剧的新译本系列》系列提供了超越希腊语字面意义的新译本，以唤起原诗的诗意。

本书收录了欧里庇德斯的《阿尔克斯提斯》(由威廉·阿罗史密斯翻译)，这是一部关于阿尔克斯提斯和她的丈夫阿德米托斯的微妙戏剧，是现存最古老的戏剧家的作品;《美狄亚》(Medea，迈克尔•科利尔(Michael Collier)和乔治娅•麦琪默(Georgia Machemer)主演)，一个感人的复仇故事，是欧里庇德斯赋予女性角色的突出和复杂的典范;《海伦》(彼得·布里安饰)，一部基于埃及海伦神话的打破流派的戏剧;以及《独眼巨人》(希瑟·麦克休和大卫·康斯坦)，这是一部根据《奥德赛》中著名的一集改编的抒情剧。这卷保留了原始版本的翔实的介绍和解释性的注释，并增加了一个合并的词汇表和希腊行号。

Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can properly re-create the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations series offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals.

This volume collects Euipides' Alcestis (translated by William Arrowsmith), a subtle drama about Alcestis and her husband Admetos, which is the oldest surviving work by the dramatist; Medea (Michael Collier and Georgia Machemer), a moving vengeance story and an excellent example of the prominence and complexity that Euripides gave to female characters; Helen (Peter Burian), a genre breaking play based on the myth of Helen in Egypt; and Cyclops (Heather McHugh and David Konstan), a highly lyrical drama based on a celebrated episode from the Odyssey. This volume retains the informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original editions and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line numbers.
