About This Book

A collected English-verse rendering of a Roman tragedian's surviving plays, presenting verse translations of major tragedies alongside an introductory essay on their impact upon early English drama. The volume pairs faithful verse translations—using English blank verse for spoken passages and adapted lyric meters for choral sections—with comparative analyses contrasting each drama with its Greek prototypes and a mythological index of characters. Editorial notes discuss textual choices and metrification, and the arrangement highlights both the rhetorical, didactic qualities of the originals and their affinities with Greek tragic models.
