This volume is an exciting collection of essays about the big three (Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides) generally arranged in chronological order. The subjects are diverse: individual plays (e.g. Ajax), trilogies (Oresteia), and broader topics (e.g. character study in the plays of Sophocles). If you ready and study the Greek tragedies, this book will give you fascinating new insights. ALSO RECOMMENDED, "The Cambridge Companion to Greek Tragedy".
