About the book

This five-volume collection brings together the surviving tragedies of the great ancient Greek dramatists. Works by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides explore war, family, fate, divine justice and political responsibility through stories drawn largely from mythology. Together, the plays form one of the foundations of Western drama and continue to shape modern theatre.
