Review: Excellent translation and commentary - I can't honestly say I enjoyed reading this very much. I love Greek mythology, but when reading for pleasure I'd rather read a prose retelling. But there are times one has to study the original. In my case, this is one of the set books for my Open University module. This translation is clear and easy to read, and is accompanied by a very informative commentary, which I'm sure I will be referencing frequently when it's time to write my assignments. ## Features - Cambridge university press ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #39,114 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Classical Dramas & Plays #32 in Performing Arts Books for Young Adults #151 in Language Study for Young Adults | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 93 Reviews | ## Images ![Cambridge University Press Euripides: Medea - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61O4McdRSsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect *by D***Y on 19 July 2020* Fast delivery, perfect!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent translation and commentary *by K***S on 3 May 2023* I can't honestly say I enjoyed reading this very much.
