Delphi Complete Works of Euripides (Illustrated)

Delphi Complete Works of Euripides (Illustrated)

During the Hellenistic Age, the great tragedian Euripides became a cornerstone of ancient literary education, his plays exhibiting an iconoclastic, rationalising attitude toward both religious belief and the ancient myths that formed the traditional subject matter of Greek drama..

This comprehensive eBook presents the complete works of the Athenian playwright Euripides, with beautiful illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
