Euripides' Hekabe
Description:
This ancient Greek tragedy presents a spectacle of the torment, rage, and revenge endured and enacted by women who, Euripides realized, suffer first and most from war. In Hekabe, the fate of the bereaved queen of Troy is a testament to the dehumanizing rather than ennobling effects of intense and prolonged suffering.
As long as we live in a world which may almost be defined by violence, the ancient voice of Euripides' Hekabe will offer compelling witness to the courage and solidarity of those who suffer it most and a fierce challenge to the simplistic assurance that suffering is somehow for the better of us all. Meagher's translation of Euripides' Hekabe offers: - A lively and extremely actable English translation that is true to the word and spirit of the ancient original - An illuminating, attractive, and affordable presentation for the general reader, the college student, the director and performer alike.
