Medea and other plays : Medea ; Hecabe ; Electra ; Heracles

by Euripides, Philip Vellacott

This collection features four Greek tragedies exploring the human consequences of betrayal, guilt, and revenge. The plays depict the downfalls of Medea, Hecabe, Electra, and Heracles as they navigate personal loss and the conflict between instinctive and civilised behaviour.
