In power, passion, and the brilliant display of moral conflict, the drama of ancient Greece remains unsurpassed. For this volume, Professor Hadas chose nine plays which display the diversity and grandeur of tragedy, and the critical and satiric genius of comedy, in outstanding translations of the past and present. His introduction explores the religious origins, modes of productions, structure, and conventions of the Greek theater, individual prefaces illuminate each play and clarify the author’s place in the continuity of Greek drama.

Title: Useful for classes
Review: While I have read all the Greek plays in more modern translations, this is a very affordable anthology of some of the greatest tragedy — and one comedy — from classical Athens. It’s so affordable that I don’t feel bad for not using all of it my classes.

Title: typical drama book
Review: I gave this a four because it is just your typical drama – doesn’t really provide background information just the text of the drama itself. Basic Greek drama – not much more to explain.
