书籍简介

基于只有亲自写诗的译者才能正确地重新创造埃斯库罗斯、索福克勒斯和欧里庇得斯的知名和永恒的悲剧这一信念，《希腊悲剧新译丛书》提供了超越希腊文字面意义的新译本，以唤起原作的诗意。在Peter Burian和Alan Shapiro的总编辑下，每一卷都包括一个批评性的介绍、对文本的评论、完整的舞台指示以及剧中的神话和地理参考术语。在《安德洛玛刻》中，欧里庇得斯挑战了我们对悲剧人物的概念，同时他也改变了我们对悲剧结构的期望。

通过微妙变化的尺度，该剧发展出越来越复杂的情节，并以同时实现现实主义和超自然主义而告终。该剧发生在特洛伊战争结束后。安卓玛奇成了阿基里斯的儿子尼奥普托勒摩斯的妾，为他生下了一个孩子——莫洛索斯。

被俘虏的安德洛玛刻骨铭心地回忆着她以前的生活，以及她对赫克托尔和他们的儿子阿斯蒂亚纳克斯的爱，他们都被现在是她主人的希腊人杀死了。戏剧开始时，安德洛玛刻和莫洛索斯受到尼奥普托勒摩斯的年轻妻子赫敏的死亡威胁，赫敏一直未能怀上孩子，嫉妒心很强。这两个女人之间的斗争反映在佩雷斯和墨涅拉俄斯之间的冲突中，佩雷斯是来保护安德洛玛刻的，而墨涅拉俄斯则是来帮助他的女儿赫敏完成她的权力争夺的。

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. Under the general editorship of Peter Burian and Alan Shapiro, each volume includes a critical introduction, commentary on the text,full stage directions, and a glossary of the mythical and geographical references in the play. In Andromache, Euripides challenges our concept of tragic character as he transforms our expectations of tragic structure.

Through its subtly varied metrics, the play develops an increasingly complex plot and concludes with a simultaneous realization of realism and supernaturalism. The play takes place in the aftermath of the Trojan War. Andromache has become a concubine to Achilles' son, Neoptolemus, bearing him a child, Molossus.

The captive Andromache is haunted by memories of her former life and by her love for Hector and their son Astyanax, both slain by the Greeks who are now her masters. As the play opens, Andromache and Molossus are threatened with death by Neoptolemus' young wife, Hermione, who has been unable to conceive a child and is fiercely jealous. Thestruggle between the two women is mirrored in the conflict between Peleus, who arrives to defend Andromache, and Menelaus, who arrives to help his daughter Hermione complete her bid for power.

作者简介

欧里庇得斯（约公元前480-406年）是古典雅典的悲剧家。他是为数不多的剧本存世者之一，其他的是埃斯库罗斯、索福克勒斯和可能的尤弗里翁。一些古代学者认为他有95部戏剧，但根据《苏达》，只有92部。其中，18或19个剧本或多或少地保存了下来（关于他的《瑞瑟斯》的作者身份一直存在争议，主要是出于文体方面的考虑），其他大部分剧本也有片段，有些是实质性的片段。他的剧本比埃斯库罗斯和索福克勒斯的剧本存世量还要多，部分原因是纯属偶然，部分原因是当他们的剧本衰落时，他的名气越来越大，在希腊时代，他与荷马、德摩斯提尼和米南德一样，成为古代文学教育的基石。

Euripides (c. 480 – 406 BC) was a tragedian of classical Athens. He is one of the few whose plays have survived, with the others being Aeschylus, Sophocles, and potentially Euphorion. Some ancient scholars attributed 95 plays to him but according to the Suda it was 92 at most. Of these, 18 or 19 have survived more or less complete (there has been debate about his authorship of Rhesus, largely on stylistic grounds) and there are also fragments, some substantial, of most of the other plays. More of his plays have survived intact than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly due to mere chance and partly because his popularity grew as theirs declined—he became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education, along with Homer, Demosthenes and Menander.
