"I wanted to buy a book containing a representative sample of the three extant ancient Greek tragedians (Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripedes) as a gift... It contains less plays than the Bantam: Just Aeschylus' Agamemnon, Sophocles' Oedipus Rex and Euripedes' Medea. It also has a nice intro about Greek Tragedy, and selections from Aristotle's Poetics. Having fewer plays than the Bantam, it feels a lot less crammed. I was pleased by the selection, as I personally think they're the single best play of each playwright. Decent translations. So...if you're looking for something to serve as a nice sampling of Greek Traj, perhaps for someone new to the genre, without running the risk of overwhelming, it's a good choice." - Amazon Customer Reviews
