«Las Troyanas, Las Bacantes, Los Heracleidas» is the classical theatre volume by Euripides, published by Edicomunicación in hardback (155 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together three tragedies by Euripides: the fate of the Trojan women after the fall of the city, the world of the bacchants, followers of Dionysus, and the ordeal of the Heracleidae, descendants of Heracles. Three essential titles of classical Greek theatre in a single volume.
The work belongs to the Literatura Universal collection and includes a translation by Germán Gómez de la Mata, with a prologue and introduction by Francesc L. Cardona.
Suitable reading for those interested in Greek literature and classical theatre.
Euripides was a Greek tragedian of classical Athens. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he is one of the three authors of Greek tragedy whose name is ascribed to surviving plays. Some ancient scholars attributed ninety-five plays to him, but the Suda says it was ninety-two at most. Nineteen plays attributed to Euripides have survived more or less complete, although one of these (Rhesus) is often considered not to be genuinely his work. Many fragments survive from most of his other plays. More of his plays have survived intact than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly because his popularity grew as theirs declined: he became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education, along with Homer, Demosthenes, and Menander.
