Original titleSuppliant Women (Greek Tragedy in New Translations)
This translation shows the striking interplay of voices in Euripides' 'Suppliant Women'. Torn between the mothers' lament over the dead and proud civic eulogy, between calls for a just war and grief for the fallen, the play captures the competing poles of the human psyche.
