Pat Easterling, Regius Professor Emeritus of Greek, University of Cambridge With his collection of essays and his beautiful and faithful translation, David Stuttard not only gently guides non-specialist readers into Euripides' tragic play but also opens new perspectives to specialists of the field.

The end result is an enjoyable and wide-ranging overview of current scholarship on this tragedy and its afterlife, accompanied by a clear and accurate translation. -- Lyndsay Coo, University of Bristol, UK The Anglo-Hellenic Review, no. 50 A wonderfully accessible guide to a dazzling play.
