Euripides' Escape-Tragedies: A Study of Helen, Andromeda, and Iphigenia Among the Taurians Hardcover - 2005 - 1st Edition

by Matthew Wright


From the publisher

This is the first major critical study of three late plays of Euripides: Helen, Andromeda, and Iphigenia among the Taurians. Matthew Wright offers a sustained reading of the plays, arguing that they are a thematically connected trilogy. He re-examines central themes such as myth, geography, cultural identity, philosophy, religion, and (crucially) genre. These are not separate topics, but are seen as being joined together to form an intricate nexus of ideas. The book has implications for our view of Euripides and the tragic genre as a whole.
