Medea: Greek, Latin and English (English Edition)

Euripides' astonishing play about the wrath of a woman scorned. Written and performed in 431BC, Medea was awarded third place, yet its power and language make it worthy of the highest praise.

This Barriclyn Classics edition presents the Greek text as published by OUP in 1902; this is accompanied by a top-notch, closely literal Latin translation by Samuel Musgrave and the time-honored English version of Theodore Alois Buckley. This combination gives the reader a much deeper access to the Greek original than many other English translations, and allows for a richer appreciation of the mind and art of Euripides.
