		Euripides: Heracles
				Literature
		Emma Griffiths
		Duckworth 2006 175 pages		Qty
		Paperback 0715631861
		Published Price £12.99		Our Price £4.99
	In Euripides' play we see a very different figure from the Heracles of popular imagination. In his account of Heracles' maddened killing of his children, Euripides emphasises the human side to the hero's character, presenting him as a loving father. This is an ideal text for those new to ancient drama, raising many central issues of Greek tragedy.

		Euripides: Bacchae
				Literature
		Sophie Mills
		Duckworth 2006 174 pages		Qty
		Paperback 0715634305
		Published Price £12.99		Our Price £4.99
	References to Dionysus in popular culture focus on him as the incarnation of wild and decadent behaviour. As he is portrayed in Bacchae the god is more complex, paradoxically transcending straightforward notions of the Dionysiac as Euripides blurs the diving lines between male and female, Greek and barbarian, divine and human.

				Literature
		Pantelis Michelakis
		Duckworth 2006 176 pages		Qty
		Paperback 0715629948
		Published Price £12.99		Our Price £4.99
	Iphigenia at Aulis dramatizes the myth of the young virgin sacrificed by her father Agamemnon at the start of the expedition against Troy. The ongoing debates around Iphigenia's voluntary sacrifice, the corruption of the play's moral universe, and the corruption of its text make this one of Euripides' most intriguing and challenging plays.
