Three plays

'Alcestis', an early play in which a queen agrees to die to save her husband's life, is cast in a tragic vein, although it contains passages of satire and even comedy, whilst 'Iphigenia in Tauris' with its apparently happy ending, melodramatically reunites the ill-fated children of Agamemmon. 'Hippolytus' is pure tragedy - the fatal impact of Phaedra's unreasoning passion for her chaste stepson. Philip Vellacott's translations are now all in verse and his introduction provides an interpretation of Euripides' work.
