Excerpt from The Hippolytus of Euripides: With Brief Notes for Young StudentsTare play was entitled Drew or erewpor', from the incident of Hippolytns offering a chaplet of flowers to distinguish it from another and earlier' play called drinker taker-reams, in which the body of the youth was covered as it was brought on the stage by attendants. This was rather a second edition or improvement on the other than a new play or another portion of a trilogy. The former play appears, from many passages in Aristo phanes', to have been attacked for the immorality of the characters drawn by the poet. Especially that of Phaedra. In the present play he corrected what was amiss or de servingol blame in the former', andoertainlyhehas produced a great work of art, not interior, perhaps, to any extant work of the tragios.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

the first playwright of democracy, Euripides wrote with enduring insight and biting satire about social and political problems of Athenian life. In contest to his contemporaries, he brought an exciting--and, to the Greeks, a stunning--realism to the "pure and noble form" of tragedy. For the first time in history, heroes and heroines on the stage were not idealized: as Sophocles himself said, Euripides shows people not as they ought to be but as they actually are. This volume includes all of Euripides' most important plays in brilliant modern prose translated by Moses Hadas and John McLean, and with an introduction by Moses Hadas.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
