If you want to experience dramatic wonder in all its meanings, there is nothing better than the plays of Euripides, which embody the human struggle between passions and the gods, between love and revenge, between sacrifice and salvation. This book opens a gateway to the Greek myths that have inspired humanity throughout the ages. You see the king sacrifice his daughter in the cause of war, the gods intervene to change the course of events, the oppressed woman becomes a symbol of revenge as in "Medea," and the chaste youth is crushed under the cruelty of "Venus" in "Hippolytus." It is a world fueled by myth, in which Euripides ignites the flame of naked human emotions without falsehood. This book takes you to the heart of Greek theater, where drama was born and became an eternal mirror of humanity.
