«Tragedias: Medea, Bacantes, Ifigenia en Áulide» is the volume of tragedies by Euripides, published by Bruguera in paperback (206 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together three tragedies by Euripides: in Medea, betrayal unleashes extreme vengeance; in Bacantes, Dionysus imposes his cult in Thebes; in Ifigenia en Áulide, the sacrifice of a young woman is linked to the Trojan War. Together they explore vengeance, divine power and the limits of the human condition.
Edition with translation, introduction and notes by Julio Pallí Bonet, in the Libro Clásico collection from Bruguera.
Recommended for readers interested in classical theatre, Greek mythology and annotated editions of the tragedians.
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.
