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.

Fun BookBy Curtiss B.These books ( a series sponsored by the Galveston Historical Foundation) are truly fun. The photos are great and the commentary interesting. I bought this one to compliment "City on Stilts." City on Stilts is an amazing story and I recommend that book as well.
