“Oh, wow... they have my EXACT edition (which I got from the one-dollar rack at Strand) on here! That is so cool! Okay. Here is part of my Facebook review on "Medea," the only one I've read out of this edition... I've already read "Alcestis" and "Hippolytus"... I bought this for "Medea" and "Children of Heracles." I've not read the latter yet.
This edition is quite good. My word ought to be taken lightly, of course: I can attest only to the goodness of the English; I don't know how close it is to the original Greek, as I have no Greek.
Now onto my review.
Well, the play was good. It gave me chills. It made me ask myself some questions. And that is all I have to say. I should be ashamed of myself! As someone who just became a Latin major/classical studies minor today, as well as someone who said she was going to write a review, I really should have written a more adequate review. But, oh, well. If there is anyone out there in the cold, lonely universe who has read this play, and can also see into my heart, perhaps he will understand why I can't say much more on this at present.”
“"Medea" is a terrifying vision of revenge and a woman unhinged.”

Still love this story though... :)”
“Euripides is my favorite Greek dramatist.
The plays that appear in this book are a must-read to anyone who enjoys drama.
"Medea" is my favorite of his plays. It is a great reminder that "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."”
